Her Worship Mayor Koshi

Postby Mike Oxlong » Wed Jan 25, 2012 8:06 pm

[SIZE="4"]Japan elects youngest woman mayor[/SIZE]
Japan's youngest-ever female mayor, Naomi Koshi, has vowed to improve the lives of women in the country after winning the election in the city of Otsu, Shiga Prefecture.

The 36-year-old former lawyer and Harvard graduate has revealed that a big inspiration for abandoning her successful legal career to move into politics was a determination to change things for women in Japan, the Mainichi Daily reported.

As a child, the mayor-elect watched on as her own mother abandoned a long-term career at a design firm to look after her elderly mother, Ms Koshi has said that she is determined to give Japanese women more opportunities.

The role of women in Japanese society is often limited, she says, and this needs to change.

"Work or kids? Or sometimes caring for an ill family member? I want to change the lives of women currently forced to choose from among these options," the news provider reported her as saying.

After completing her studies at Harvard Law School, Ms Koshi worked as a mergers and acquisitions lawyer in the US, but has long held ambitions to return to her native Otsu.

Despite having practically no experience in the world of politics, she managed to persuade her fellow Otsu citizens of her determination, triumphing over the incumbent Makoto Mekata.

Throughout the election she slept for just three hours most nights as she canvassed hard, spending a great deal of time studying numerous projects in the city.

This determination helped turn the tide in her favour, persuading those who thought she was too young or inexperienced to give her their backing.

Now for the first time in its history Shiga Prefecture has a female governor, while its capital Otsu also has a female mayor and this can only be positive for the lives of women in the central region that lies just east of Kyoto.

I've never met this bright young lady, but I'm sure I'd enjoy having sex with her. She looks like a young Masako-sama, right down to the aquiline nose. It's a larger-than-average nose, which means her genitals are also larger than average.

Mon negre francais, you're such a good sport, I wish you were my dirty-minded, up-to-no-good son. Can I "adopt" you?

Still dropping by the Tokyo area in Feb?

Both you French guys must suffer from some form of Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac / Gérard Depardieu homo-pr0n fetish to even think about her "aquiline" nose when clearly the rest of us are having fantasies about the "late-night mayor's-office-desk-with-glasses" situation. Sheesh. Si ça vous branche.

Sorry to get all feminist on your arses... but I was kinda just impressed at her Harvard law education and her political success at such a young age.

I know you guys are mostly joking around, but give the lady some credit for her success in the misogynistic Japanese political landscape.

Or at least condescending...

....and experience working in the US. That, with the lack of a political background.....something tells me she might actually make some changes for the better.

Just on the basis of what is written here. I'd like to wish her every success - women could really make a big contribution to how Japan functions. It can only be good.

Hopefully the days of miserable old fart politics is on the way out.

Okay, not wanting to be misogynistic, credit is hereby given and is well deserved. Can I breechload her now?

I'll save the applause until her successful reelection.

If she really wants to help working women, she should push hard on strict enforcement of overtime labor laws.

Well, she did beat out the incumbent and his amakudari tribe. That's something to be proud of. Whether she lives up to her own expectations, yes, that's yet to be seen.

Everyone was going on back in '93 about how Masako-sama was going to breathe new life into the moribund monarchy here. Didn't happen. Her aquiline-nosed, Harvard-educated doppelganger is, beyond question, going to be a similar disappointment. That's why I post frivolous crap: it's to help cope with the pain of the realization that reform in Japan is a lost cause (I'm a sensitive mofo).

Even I was smiling when Minshuto took over two years ago, but no, within two years they've regressed right back into another iteration of a Jiminto clique.

Let's see whether she will build up a track record like that of her counterpart Ilse Uyttersprot in the Belgian city Aalst, who was filmed by Coligny in one of her finest moments...
