of MAGA. (MJGA)

Sanae Takaichi is a staunch, right-wing conservative within Japan's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). As Japan's Prime Minister (as of Oct 2025), she is known for her nationalistic views, advocating for a stronger military, opposing same-sex marriage, and supporting traditional gender roles.

Her passion for motorcycles, combined with playing drums in a heavy metal band, highlights a very unconventional personal background compared to traditional Japanese politicians.
