My Take
Junichi Kanda is the kind of politician I actually respect — no flashy TV appearances, no viral moments, just a guy from a fishing city on the far northern coast of Honshu who grinded all the way to Tokyo University and then turned that brain toward public service. Born in 1970, so he's hitting his stride in his fifties, which honestly feels like the right age to be doing serious policy work. I picture him as someone who reads the full bill instead of the summary, who knows what a budget line actually means. There's something about growing up in Hachinohe — sea wind, hard winters, a town that doesn't get mentioned much — that tends to leave people with a quiet toughness. He's a Libra, and I think that fits: weighing things carefully, not rushing to loud conclusions. The world runs on people like this, even if they never trend on social media.
