My Take
Here's a guy from Kyoto who went to Kyoto University and built a whole career looking like the serious one in the room, all crisp suits and stern talk about security and foreign policy. And then you find out he's a hardcore train nerd, and honestly that's the detail that makes me like him. There's something disarming about a sharp, hawkish policy wonk whose eyes light up like a kid the second the conversation turns to railways. People ribbed him for hopping between parties over the years, sure, but I get the sense the guy just refuses to bend once he's decided he's right, which is a very Kyoto kind of stubborn. Brainy, a little prickly, secretly soft about the stuff he loves. I'm kind of into it.
