Otaku assemblyman’s latest project stars a 1,300-year-old girl from a popular video game franchise.
Minoru Ogino
Excitement was in the air all over Tokyo as the votes for regional elections to council seats were talli–hey where are you going!?
Sure, local politics aren’t all that electrifying aside from the occasional eccentrics who throw their shark-tooth necklaces into the ring. But it’s also sometimes the place where small but inspiring stories of success can happen.
Such is the case with Minoru Ogino who was recently elected to Ōta Ward (aka Ōta City) or Ōta-Ku in Japanese. It’s a fitting district to win in as Assemblyman Ogino is Love-Live-lovin’ Kankore sailing otaku himself.
