Who is Japan’s ‘Iron Lady’ Sanae Takaichi?

Respected figure: Barones Margaret Thatcher. Personal Target: To be Japan’s iron ledi.

After two unsuccessful attempts, Sanae Takaichi finally got his ambition that has been held for a long time.

On the 70th anniversary of Japan’s 64-year-old Japan’s leader of Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), he continued to be the first female prime minister of the country.

A former government minister and a TV server and once a drummer in a heavy metal group will now lead a rising right, while leading a party that struggles to regain his voter confidence after the scandals.

Takaishi’s father, who was born in 1961 in Nara Province, was an office worker and his mother was a police officer. Politics has been far from his upbringing.

Once an enthusiastic heavy metal drummer is famous for carrying many sticks because he would break them during intense drums. At the same time, a scuba diver and a car enthusiast – dear Toyota Supra is now exhibiting in a Nara Museum.

Before entering politics, Takaichi worked as a television presenter.

In the 1980s, the political inspiration came at the high US-Japanese trade friction. Determined to understand the perceptions of American Japan, he worked at the Democrat Patricia Schroeder office, a congress member of Japan.

Takaichi saw that Americans confused Japanese, China and Korean language and cuisine, and observed how Japan came together with China and South Korea.

“If Japan cannot defend itself, his fate will always be in the mercy of his shallow view.”

In 1992, he ran as an independent but lost in the first parliamentary elections.

A year later, he won a chair and joined the LDP in 1996. Since then, he has been selected as 10 times MP, he only lost once and became famous as one of the most open oral conservative voices of the party.

In addition, as the Minister of Economic Security, Minister of Trade and Industry and Minister of Interior and Communication, he played high -level government roles, including the time of office.

In 2021, Takaichi first entered the LDP leadership race, but Fumio lost to Kishida. He tried again in 2024, this time he exceeded the first vote, but ultimately lost to Shigeru Ishiba.

This year, he won the victory in his third attempt – when he confirmed his parliamentary appointment, he founded him to become the first female prime minister of Japan.

During his last campaign, a group of schools told his child, “My goal is to be a ladi,” he said.

Takaichi is a conservative that has been opposed for a long time that allows married women to hold their hymen and insists on weakening the tradition. It is also against the same homosexual marriage.

However, it has recently softened its tone. During his campaign, he promised to make the baby career’s fees partially taxable and to make corporate tax reductions for companies that provide in -house child care services.

His family and his personal experiences support policy proposals: Expanding hospital services for women’s health, more recognition of household support workers, and Improving care options for Japan’s aging society.

“I have experienced nursing and care three times in my life,” he said. “Therefore, my determination was even stronger to reduce the number of people who had to leave their jobs because of children who refused to go to school or go to school. I want to create a society in which people do not give up their careers.”

A protégé of the late Shinzo Abe promised to revive the economic vision of the “Abenomics” of the “Abenomics” of cheap borrowing.

A regular visitor was the controversial Temple of Yasukuni, which honored Japan’s war, including convicted war criminals.

He also called on the country’s constitutional restrictions on defense forces to alleviate.

Since its establishment in 1955, LDP has dominated the Japanese politics, but now a stagnant economy has lost its ground in the midst of disappointment due to demographic decline and social discontent.

Takaichi belongs to the right -wing side of the LDP, and when choosing it, the LDP hopes to reclaim conservative voters for the far -right Sansito Party.

Running in the slogan “Japan before”, Sanseito has recently attracted conservative voters and increases a 15 seats. The LDP lost its majority in both Parliamentary Assembly.

Takaichi accepted the problem in a speech after winning the first vote: “We received harsh criticism from our basic supporters, conservatives and party members.”

“LDP, Japan’s present and future of Japan should change. We will always put national interests in the first place and we will manage the country with a sense of balance.”

Parliament is expected to approve as a prime minister on October 15th.
