Sanae Takaichi is a Japanese politician who has served as Prime Minister of Japan and President of the Liberal Democratic Party since 2025. She is the first woman to hold either of these positions.

Takaichi has been described as holding staunch conservative and Japanese nationalist views, citing former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher as a role model and deeply influential on her personal political beliefs. Like Thatcher, she is called the "Iron Lady".

Takaichi is a fan of JRA horse racing, an avid heavy metal and Japanese rock listener, especially from artists Demon Kakka, B'z, and X Japan

She also holds a title of Sommelier d'honneur and has an interest in motorcycles, having owned a Kawasaki Z400. Takaichi is also known to be practicing karate, a scuba diver and a car enthusiast, formerly owning a 1991 Toyota Supra A70 2.5GT Twin-Turbo Limited during her early years in parliament

The truly intriguing one in this new cabinet is Kimi Onoda, in charge of foreign nationals.

She was born in Chicago and abandoned by her worthless white American father and then returned with her mother to Japan as a baby. Raised by her Japanese mother and family, she renounced her American citizenship a few years ago.

Don’t think she has a personal twisted view of gaijin? She should make for an interesting psychological case study.

Just don't turn on everyone like the Italian chick. She used to be 'based' too.
