My Take
Satsuki Katayama is a politician I find worth watching for her unusually substantive background. A University of Tokyo graduate and former Finance Ministry bureaucrat, she brought real fiscal and economic literacy into the legislature, which I think the Diet needs more of. Her career has weathered ups and downs, from a single term in the House of Representatives starting in 2005 to her seats in the House of Councillors from 2010. Whatever one makes of her politics, her willingness to state positions plainly and hold them shows a spine. I hope she keeps grounding debate in real policy.
