Hiroyoshi Sasagawa

I'll be honest, when a profile just says "politician" my eyebrow goes up a little, but Hiroyoshi Sasagawa kind of won me over the more I sat with him. Born in Tokyo in 1966, a Meiji University guy, he's from that generation that watched the bubble inflate and pop and probably learned to keep both feet on the ground because of it. He's not the flashy, camera-chasing type, and frankly I respect that, the world runs on people doing the unglamorous work. The fact that he keeps an Instagram going makes me think he's not all starch and stiffness, and that little bit of softness is what made me warm to him.

Hiroyoshi Sasagawa is a Japanese politician born on August 29, 1966, in Tokyo. He graduated from Meiji University. He maintains an official website and an Instagram account as public-facing channels.
