My Take
Makoto Takahashi is the kind of person who built a career the old-fashioned way — no shortcut, no hype. Born in Otsu, Shiga in 1961, he made it through Zeze High School (one of the top academic schools in the prefecture) and on to Yokohama National University, then quietly climbed his way into the upper ranks of KDDI, one of Japan's biggest telecoms. Capricorn energy through and through, if you believe in that sort of thing: patient, methodical, the guy who shows up every day and actually gets things done. He's not the type to be splashed across gossip magazines, and honestly that's kind of refreshing. Every time I tap my phone and it just works, I think there's probably someone exactly like Takahashi-san somewhere in the background making that possible.
