My Take
Okoshi is a University of Tokyo graduate who spent decades as one of NHK's most familiar news faces, then moved to a rival network's evening program at an age when most people slow down. That takes nerve: swapping an institution's credibility for your own. His file here is almost empty. Fitting. Anchors are meant to disappear behind the story.
