My Take
A newspaper reporter, then a consultant, then a politician: Motegi's career reads like three lives stacked into one. He has run the trade ministry, the foreign ministry, and his party's organisation, which is another way of saying he gets handed the fights nobody else wants. Not a charmer, but a closer who wins arguments with numbers.
