My Take
An engineer's resume: the University of Tokyo, then the construction ministry, then politics, and eventually four years running the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. He led Komeito as secretary general and then as party chief, and in the 2024 general election he lost his own seat, about the hardest defeat a party leader can absorb. This record now lists him as Vice Speaker of the House of Representatives from February 2026. A quiet operator who outlasts his own bad news.
