My Take
When I hear "University of Tokyo grad, ex-bureaucrat, now a politician," I brace for a stiff, buttoned-up wonk who talks down to the room. So it always catches me off guard that Tamaki is the opposite kind of nerd: he gets visibly fired up, rattling off numbers at a hundred miles an hour about take-home pay and that infamous tax threshold, the sort of dry stuff that normally puts me straight to sleep. The fact that he can actually make it digestible tells me he's done the homework. There's something almost un-politician-like about how earnest and forward-leaning he is, and yeah, that eagerness occasionally trips him up. But honestly, that's part of the charm. He reads less like a slick operator and more like an over-caffeinated uncle who genuinely can't help himself, and I kind of root for him.
