Minoru Terada

Honestly, the first thing I noticed about Minoru Terada was Harvard — like, a kid from Hiroshima who ends up graduating from one of the most competitive universities on the planet, that just doesn't happen by accident. Born in 1958, so he's been around long enough to watch Japan transform through its bubble era, the crash, and everything after, and he's spent that whole time in politics. There's a particular kind of quiet credibility that comes from a resume like his — he's not the flashy tweet-every-hour type of politician, more the guy who's actually done the reading and knows the spreadsheet cold. Hiroshima has a way of producing people with a certain groundedness to them, and I get that vibe from him. Not glamorous, not trying to be, just genuinely serious about the work.
