My Take
Shigeo Yamada is the kind of person who makes you feel slightly underdressed just hearing his résumé — Keio all the way through, born in Tokyo in 1964, and then a career in diplomacy that almost by definition means he's spent decades in rooms where the stakes were too high for anyone to be honest out loud. Diplomats don't get victory laps or highlight reels; they get quiet handshakes and plausible deniability, and someone like Yamada — a Cancer, which means still waters running deep — probably prefers it that way. There's something almost monastic about choosing a life where your biggest wins are things the public never hears about. I find myself genuinely grateful those people exist, even if I'll never fully understand what they actually do.
