My Take
I'll be honest, I'd never have clocked her on a red carpet, and that's exactly why she floored me. Read the resume and it's prosecutor, judge, diplomat, professor, all the way up to sitting on the bench at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, the place that handles the worst things humans do to each other. From a high school in Aichi to the University of Tokyo to the literal world stage of justice, and she did it as a woman of a generation that rarely got handed that door. I don't know her voice or her face, and I kind of love that, because it means everything she built came from sheer spine and craft, not vibes. Quiet, principled, world-class. That's a flex I'll always respect.
