My Take
I'll be honest, this is the kind of politician I find quietly fascinating, the self-made grinder type. Ryota Takeda comes out of Fukuoka, and instead of gliding straight from Waseda into some gilded fast lane, he put in years as a political secretary, soaking up the unglamorous backroom grind before raising his own banner. That kind of bottom-up climb gets to me, because you can usually tell the people who actually carried bags from the ones who just talked. He went on to serve as Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications from 2020 to 2021. Nagatacho is wall-to-wall with smooth talkers, so I've got a soft spot for the ones who feel like they're genuinely hauling their hometown's voice into the room.
