Itsunori Onodera, born on May 5, 1960 in Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, is a politician. That puts Itsunori Onodera at 66 years old in 2026. Education on record includes Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology.
My Take
Onodera came out of Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, then served twice as Japan's defence minister. A sea-sciences graduate running defence for an island nation: coincidence, but tidy. He is no loud operator, and in a job where one error cannot be undone, that suits me. His home town, Kesennuma, was gutted by the 2011 tsunami.
