My Take
What catches my eye about Hiroyuki Kishi is the shape of his career rather than any single credential. Born in Tokyo in 1962, he went from Hibiya High School to Hitotsubashi University, about as straight a line into the Japanese establishment as exists, and then declined to stay on it. Bureaucrat, businessperson, university teacher: three worlds that rarely share a single resume. What I find telling is that he keeps his own site and runs his own accounts on X and Instagram. Policy people are usually most comfortable speaking through documents almost nobody reads. Choosing instead to explain yourself in public, where you can be argued with in real time, is a harder and far more useful habit. I tend to trust the ones who step out from behind the institution.
