Sōichirō Okuno

Sōichirō Okuno is one of those politicians who doesn't immediately jump out at you, and I actually find that kind of refreshing. Born in Kobe in 1964, Tokyo University grad, worked as a secretary before stepping into the political arena himself — that's not the resume of someone who coasted in on family connections or charisma alone. There's a groundedness to that path. Kobe people tend to carry a certain easy-going confidence that doesn't need to shout, and I like to think that's carried into how he operates in the Diet. The Cancer-Dragon combination in his chart, if you're into that sort of thing, suggests someone who holds loyalty close and has a quiet spine of steel. He's not the type dominating headlines every week, but the ones who do the unglamorous listening and legwork often end up mattering more in the long run. I'll take steady over flashy any day.
