Junji Fukuhara

Born in Akita in 1967 and educated at Keio University — honestly, that resume screams "chosen one" from the jump, and I mean that in the most fascinated way possible. Growing up in one of Japan's snowiest, most rural prefectures and then making the long climb into national politics takes a certain kind of stubborn idealism that I find genuinely compelling. Most politicians feel like abstractions to me, but when I picture a kid from deep Tohoku deciding he was going to go all the way to the center of the country and matter, that's a story I want to follow. I don't know every chapter of his career, but the bones of it already tell me he's not someone who coasts. Akita doesn't produce quitters.
