My Take
Takashi Tachibana went from NHK accountant to whistleblower to founder of a party built on a single grievance: the broadcaster's licence fee. From Izumiotsu in Osaka, he won seats in the Funabashi and Katsushika assemblies before taking an upper house seat in 2019. A divisive man, and no, I am not a supporter. But he reads attention like few can.
