My Take
Born in Bunkyo, Tokyo, yet elected from Tottori's second district, Ryosei Akazawa has never quite matched his map to his roots. A former transport ministry official educated at Cornell, he became a national face in 2025 as Japan's point man in the tariff talks with Washington. No showmanship, just stamina, which politics undervalues.
