My Take
Takashi Endo is a useful reminder that Japanese politics is not run exclusively by graduates of famous universities. Born in 1968 in Takaishi, Osaka, he finished his schooling at a local high school and still became one of the Diet's essential operators: for years the Japan Innovation Party's chief of parliamentary affairs, the job of setting schedules and finding landing zones with rival parties, always off camera. It wins no headlines, and being trusted with it that long says plenty. My favorite detail is that his official blog is named after the Akita dog. A man who lives in back rooms, blogging about dogs - somehow that reassures me.
