Category : Appointment/Resignation Published on: October 23 2025
Sanae Takaichi, 64, has made history as Japan’s first female prime minister, taking office on October 21, 2025. A protégé of Shinzo Abe, she’s known as Japan’s “Iron Lady” for her conservative, assertive politics. Her agenda mirrors Abenomics, emphasizing fiscal expansion, monetary easing, and reforms to revive the economy. Takaichi holds right-wing views—opposing same-sex marriage and supporting stronger defense and tighter immigration. Despite limited focus on gender equality, her rise marks a major milestone in Japan’s male-dominated political arena.
