Former Prime Minister Kishida is from Hiroshima. I've seen him appear on war-related or rather peace-related posters.

It seems he was born in Shibuya Ward.

That's right. The Kishida family is a Hiroshima family, so that means they're city boys.

Yes, I was born and raised there. But Hiroshima is my roots. We can't even imagine that the Tokyo air raids would have devastated our neighborhood. Asakusa, Kameido, Ueno, and the Koto Ward area were reduced to ashes. Japanese people are really determined to rebuild from there.

I'm really grateful for that. I'm where I am today because of people like that.
