My Take
Mimei Sakamoto is one of those rare people where the label on the tin doesn't quite match what you find inside — she's listed as a manga artist, and sure, that's where she started, but by the time most people encounter her name it's attached to a sharp opinion piece or a TV talking-head segment, not a comic panel. Born in Yokohama in 1965, she carries that classic Showa-era directness where people just said what they thought without wrapping it in seventeen disclaimers first. Tamagawa University grad, Libra by star sign — which is funny, because nothing about her public persona screams "balanced and diplomatic." She's more the type to plant a flag and dare you to argue. I respect that, even when I don't agree. The manga side of her work honestly flies under the radar compared to her commentary persona, which is a strange kind of fame to have built, but it's entirely her own.
