My Take
Okay, I love a person whose resume refuses to sit still. Kenji Isezaki reads like four people sharing one body: the Waseda-trained engineer's brain, the academic, the guy who actually went into conflict zones to do disarmament and peacebuilding work, and then, almost as a punchline, a jazz trumpet player. That last line is what gets me. You spend your career in some of the most dangerous, mud-and-gunpowder corners of the planet, doing the unglamorous arithmetic of getting people to put weapons down, and then at night you pick up a horn? That is not a hobby, that is a whole second nervous system. A Tokyo kid who chose the world's hardest rooms. I have a real soft spot for grown-ups who can't be filed under one tab, and he's the patron saint of that.
