My Take
Taku Yamazoe is a lawyer who ended up in the Diet, and you can still hear the lawyer in him. Born in 1984, schooled in Kyoto and then at the University of Tokyo, he now sits in the House of Councillors for the Japanese Communist Party. I have no interest in selling anyone his politics, but his method deserves notice: he questions ministers with documents and figures rather than volume, which makes it easy for a viewer to judge whether the argument actually holds. Parliamentary questioning rewards preparation and almost nothing else, and he prepares. That is rarer than it ought to be.
