From Inspiration to Action

Chapter 1: A Meeting That Changed Everything
People often ask me, “Why did you enter politics?”
It all began when I discovered the story of José Mujica, the former president of Uruguay — often called “the world’s poorest president.”

His words stayed with me.
“We must invest in life itself.”
“The only thing we can truly leave behind is education.”

Mujica came from neither wealth nor a political family. He had been imprisoned as an activist, yet eventually became president — and famously donated 90% of his salary, choosing to live with humility and conviction.

When I saw him speak during his 2016 visit to Japan, I was profoundly moved. I began to ask myself: What purpose does politics really serve?

Over time, I realized why so many people in Japan feel disconnected from politics: they’ve lost faith in political leaders.

But what if inspiring people stood at the top?
Couldn’t that shift the entire atmosphere of our society?

That thought stayed with me — and gave me hope.

Chapter 2: Learning at a Political Academy
In 2017, I joined my first political leadership course. At the time, I didn’t plan to become a politician. I simply wanted to understand how politics worked.

In the years that followed, I continued studying in multiple programs and volunteered in elections whenever a fellow student from the academy ran for office.
I supported their campaigns in every way I could. I just wanted to help people I believed in.
Looking back, those experiences naturally laid the foundation for what I do today.

Chapter 3: Deciding to Run — and Winning My First Election
As the world grew more unstable, politics stopped feeling distant — it became personal.
I started thinking, “What if I could be one of the people helping to change Japan for the better?”
Politics shouldn’t be something reserved only for those already engaged. I wanted to make it feel accessible — and hopeful. How could I do that?

I have to take the first step.

“It’s not just a matter of when — if we don’t act, nothing will change!”

I gathered up my courage and decided to run for office.

I ran for office — and was elected on my very first try!

Many of my friends came to support me during the election, and it was an invaluable experience. I’m deeply grateful for their support.

With high expectations and so much support, I found the courage to take my first step into politics.

Dear Readers,
I believe politics should feel closer to home.
Young people’s voices aren’t reaching the national level. It’s not that they don’t matter — it’s that too few are being heard.
If more young people vote, more policies will reflect their lives.

I hope that by seeing someone like me — someone without a political background — working in public office, it might inspire others to get involved.

With creativity, courage, and a future-focused mindset, I will continue working toward a new kind of politics —
one where people believe their vote matters,
and where the future truly feels like something we can shape.

To be continued…
