My Take
Masaharu Kondo is the kind of person who quietly keeps the whole machine running while the rest of us never learn his name — a career bureaucrat, University of Tokyo educated, born in Aichi in 1956, which puts him squarely in that postwar generation that genuinely believed hard work and service to the state meant something. That Todai-to-government pipeline he walked is about as old-school elite Japan as it gets, and I mean that with respect rather than side-eye. The details of his actual work are almost entirely shielded from public view, which is honestly kind of fitting — there's a certain Capricorn stubbornness to someone who spends decades in the background holding things together without ever angling for a spotlight. Not glamorous, not viral, but the system needs those people, and from what little we can see, he looks like one of them.
