“Cool lady” who is politically far-right and openly idolizes Margret Thatcher and respects Donald Trump.

“Cool lady” who is running legal immigrants out of Japan (some who have lived there for generations) and making it very hard for foreigners to be anything other than tourists at a time when Japan’s economy depends on foreign labor and talent more than any other time in its history.

“Cool lady” who allies with Japan’s new right-wing extremist party Sanseito (jingoists, anti-vaxxers, basically Japanese MAGA) and helped them go from two or three seats in the Diet in 2025 to 15 seats earlier this year.

Is that the “cool lady” you’re referring to?

Talking to bugs is the least of her problems.
