My Take
Kazuo Ueda's appointment as the 32nd Governor of the Bank of Japan in April 2023 was, to me, one of the quietly radical personnel decisions in Japanese public life. He is an academic, not a career central banker: professor emeritus at the University of Tokyo, and after retiring in 2017 he taught briefly at Kyoritsu Women's University. The man who once explained monetary policy in lectures now writes it, and every sentence he speaks gets parsed by currency traders within seconds. What I find compelling is the temperament. No showmanship, just careful conditional reasoning delivered at lecture pace. Born in Makinohara, Shizuoka, in 1951 and schooled at Komaba before the University of Tokyo, he ended up in the one job where there is no answer key.
