My Take
Yukio Jitsukawa is one of those quietly consequential figures who never made the front page for the wrong reasons — and honestly, in politics, that's kind of rare and worth noting. Born in Chiba in 1943, he went through Hosei University and then spent decades in the political trenches, steadily enough that he eventually received the Order of the Rising Sun with Gold and Silver Rays, which Japan doesn't hand out as a participation trophy. No flashy scandals, no viral moments, just the long unglamorous grind of local governance and public service. As a Libra born in the Year of the Sheep, there's something fitting about the image of a measured, low-drama operator who just kept showing up. I have a lot of respect for that type — the ones who do the actual work while everyone else is chasing attention.
