Yoshitami Kameoka

A Waseda graduate from a generation where that pedigree opened serious doors in Japanese politics, he spent years losing elections before finally winning a seat in 2005, and went on to serve five terms and posts in education and reconstruction. Not a headline-grabber, not a scandal magnet, just a guy who shows up, votes, serves on committees, and lets the institution do the talking for him.
