PRESS CONFERENCE
Will Takaichi Become Japan’s Next Leader?
Chiyako Sato, Expert Senior Writer, Editorial Board, The Mainichi Shimbun
Masato Kamikubo, Professor, College of Policy Science, Ritsumeikan University

Less than two weeks ago, the Liberal Democratic Party chose Sanae Takaichi, known for her rightwing, hawkish views, as its new president. Her victory is notable shift by the party away from the more centrist Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. After Takaichi gave a party post to her ally Koichi Hagiuda — heavily tainted by the 2024 slush fund scandal — an angry Komeito ended the 26-year-old coalition agreement. The LDP now faces perhaps the greatest crisis in its 70-year history, as it struggles to put together a new coalition. To explain what happened and peer into the future, FCCJ welcomes two distinguished political experts.

Chiyako Sato, a senior editorial writer for the Mainichi Shimbun, is one of Japan’s most-well known political commentators. In 2017, she became the first-ever female head of a mainstream Japanese media political desk after a long career, including a stint at the paper’s Washington D.C. bureau where she covered the Iraq war. Sato’s book “Ossan no Kabe” or “The Wall of Middle-Aged Men” is an eye-opening account of her experiences in male-dominated Nagata-cho.

Masato Kamikubo, a political scientist at Ritsumeikan University, is a specialist in contemporary Japanese politics. He earned his Ph.D. in politics and international studies from the University of Warwick in the UK. Recently, Kamikubo-sensei has focused on the rise of populist parties like Sanseito and how they are now influencing, and posing a threat to, traditional established parties like the LDP. He spoke about this topic to the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation immediately after July’s Upper House election.
