Lucky me… currently re-reading.
Takaichi’s manifesto, published in 2021. The text on the cover alludes to her becoming Japan’s first female PM. A strict conservative, she is opposed to couples having different surnames. Her husband is former politician Yamamoto Taku. 🤔

Takaichi confirmed as PM via the House of Reps; the upper house is conducting the vote now.
October 21, 2025 at 4:53 AM
Counting, counting…

Takaichi casts her vote … quite a few of her LDP colleagues cast their vote in the other slot. Most women appeared to vote otherwise too. Telling.
