Shinjiro Koizumi may become Japan’s prime minister
View through CrossRef
Subject
A profile of Shinjiro Koizumi.
Significance
Shinjiro Koizumi, Japan’s 38-year-old environment minister, is consistently ranked as the person the public would like to see replace Shinzo Abe as prime minister.
Impacts
Koizumi’s age and celebrity refresh the conservative LDP’s image and could broaden its appeal.
His current post as environment minister is high risk, low reward; at best it is a stepping stone to more senior cabinet posts.
Although he cultivates the image of a maverick, his actual record on major policy issues is careful ambivalence.
As a fluent English speaker, he could connect with the international media in a way no previous Japanese leader has.
