Jun Mukōyama

Okay, so when someone says "politician," I always picture some grey-haired guy who's been around forever, but Jun Mukōyama was born in 1983, which makes her a genuine young blood in a world that skews old. A Keio and Harvard graduate who grew up partly in Peru, the United States and Argentina, she strikes me as the type who builds an argument brick by brick rather than just shouting slogans. Politics is a name-and-face game, so the people who grind out trust in their own words instead of cheap flash earn my respect. Now in her second term and serving as a vice-minister, seeing her generation step up and do the unglamorous heavy lifting? Quietly rooting for her.
