Technically he is japanese, you need citizenship to run for office But that's a good question, we'll have to find another to interview! I know he isn't the only one -editor
@@unpackingjapanshorts Yes, I figured he'd have to be a citizen, however, I was referring to his not being genetically Japanese. Having lived in Japan on and off for years (and being happily married into it for two decades), It's a wonderful surprise to see him. Thanks for the interview, he seems like a straight up fella.
I wonder how many other non-Japanese have become politicians in Japan?

Glad you enjoyed it! This was one of my favourite interviews we've done, Jon was really insightful to listen to

Japan desperately needs the "Bob's" from Office Space to pay their government agencies a visit.
