Satoshi Honjō

I'll be honest, I don't know Satoshi Honjō's day-to-day politics chapter and verse, but the broad strokes already tell me plenty. Born in Kyoto in 1974, then up through a local high school into the University of Tokyo's Faculty of Law, which is about as blue-chip a credential as Japanese public life offers. That's the kind of résumé that signals serious study and a steady, deliberate climb rather than overnight noise. I can't speak to the loud TV-pundit stuff, so I'll just say I respect the patient, build-it-brick-by-brick path. The quiet, methodical types tend to wear well.
