My Take
Honestly, I don't know Katsuya Nakanishi's face or his voice, and I'd bet most people outside his industry don't either — but that's kind of the point with this type. Born in Osaka in 1960, made it to the University of Tokyo, built a career as a businessperson: that's a very specific combination of traits, and I mean that as a compliment. Osaka sharpens you in a particular way — commercial instincts, zero patience for nonsense, a feel for where the money actually is — and then Tokyo University stacks pure analytical rigor on top of that. The result tends to be someone who doesn't need the spotlight because the spreadsheet does the talking. He's past his mid-sixties now, which in the business world often means the most interesting chapter, the one where you've already won enough to start playing a longer game. I find myself respecting the type even when I can't tell you much more than the resume.
