My Take

Hiroto Saikawa is not the kind of person who ends up on a celebrity database for glamorous reasons — this is a career corporate lifer, a Tokyo University grad who spent decades grinding through Nissan's ranks until he finally hit the top seat as CEO. Born in 1953, Scorpio, Year of the Snake — somehow that all tracks for a guy who survived the absolute chaos of the Carlos Ghosn era and then got caught up in the fallout himself, stepping down in 2019 after a compensation controversy. I find guys like this genuinely fascinating in a grim way: all that discipline, all those years in boardrooms and back-channel negotiations, and the ending still gets messy. The suits-and-spreadsheets world he inhabited is so far from showbiz, yet the drama level is honestly comparable.
