Kiyoshi Igarashi

He came up the long way, from Diet secretary to speaker of the Tochigi assembly to the national legislature, which honestly fits a certain kind of career politician vibe. But that Australian chapter says something real: there's an international curiosity there that most of his peers probably didn't bother with. Whatever he's been building since, I'm curious whether that outside perspective actually shows up in how he operates.
