Masaki Kuroda

Masaki Kuroda isn't the kind of politician who ends up on entertainment news or gets a Wikipedia entry the size of a novel — and honestly, that might be a point in his favor. There's a whole breed of local and regional Japanese politician like this — not flashy, not trending, just quietly holding the machinery of everyday life together. He started a painting business at 22 and spent four terms on the Sakai city council before winning a Diet seat in 2024, and I find myself rooting for the ones who chose this over something easier. That's the bet I'm making on Kuroda.
