My Take
Mikishi Daimon is the kind of politician I actually respect — not because he's flashy or quotable, but precisely because he isn't. Born in Kyoto in 1956, there's something very fitting about a man from that city choosing the slow, careful path: stack your facts, make your argument, don't perform. He came up through the building-trades unions in Tokyo before winning the first of five upper-house terms in 2001, which, fair enough — he's not an influencer, he's a lawmaker. I find myself trusting that more than I probably should. A local kid from Kyoto who clearly paid attention to how ordinary people actually live. That groundedness is rare, and rarer still that it seems genuine.
