Hashimoto wins election for Osaka City mayor

Hashimoto Toru, the previous governor of Osaka Prefecture, has won the elections for the mayor of Osaka City. It is one step towards his vision of changing Osaka into a metropolis like Tokyo. I feel that Hashimoto is an example of a politician that is rarely seen in Japan. Someone with a clear vision, and the ability to work towards that vision. Let's see how things turn out from here. What Japan lacks now is politicians who can set a vision for the country and execute a plan to achieve that vision. Hopefully, with Hashimoto elected to Osaka City, we will see more politicians like him step up and bring Japan forward.
