My Take
Nobuhiro Endo is the kind of person who makes you quietly rethink what "impressive" actually means. Born in 1953 in Oiso, one of those relaxed, salt-aired towns along the Shonan coast in Kanagawa, he made his way to Tokyo Institute of Technology — which, if you know anything about Japanese engineering education, is about as serious as it gets. Electrical engineering isn't glamorous, but it's the invisible backbone of basically everything we take for granted, and people who dedicate a career to it deserve more credit than they usually get. He went on to run NEC as president and chairman, and the shape of it — coastal upbringing, rigorous schooling, a technical career that reached the top of the company — reads like someone who built things slowly and well. Respect.
