My Take
Tetsuya Yagi is a politician from Toyota City, Aichi — and if you know anything about Toyota City, you know it's essentially one giant company town built around you-know-which automaker, so there's this industrial, no-nonsense backbone baked into the place that I imagine shapes anyone who grows up there. Born in 1947, he's part of that immediate postwar generation that had to figure out a Japan rebuilding itself from scratch, which tends to produce people with a certain quiet toughness. He studied at Chuo University before going into politics, which is a respectable law-and-civics path. What I find kind of charming is that this guy, now pushing 80, is still active on Instagram and X — a lot of politicians his age have no idea what a timeline even is, so the fact that he's out there posting earns him a small but genuine nod from me.
