Shinsuke Okuno

Shinsuke Okuno is the kind of figure who doesn't need to announce himself — born in Tokyo in 1944, right at the tail end of the war, he came up in a Japan that was literally rebuilding itself from rubble, and that kind of origin tends to produce people who are serious in a way that later generations just aren't. Keio University, then a career straddling both politics and business — that's not a resume you stumble into; that's decades of quiet maneuvering and earned credibility. Eighty years of accumulated judgment. I find myself instinctively trusting someone like that, even when I can't quite explain why.
