Who is Japan's new prime minister, Shigeru Ishiba?
Briefly

"In a victory speech at the party's headquarters, he said the outgoing prime minister, Fumio Kishida, had decided to let the LDP be reborn and win back the public's trust. We must all pull together to do that."
"Despite his victory on Friday, the softly spoken Ishiba, who listens to 1970s pop music and builds model warplanes, trains and ships in his free time, has become a voice of dissent inside a party that has drifted to the right over the past two decades."
"Ishiba was alone among the nine candidates for the LDP presidency in calling for a post-Fukushima shift away from nuclear power to renewable energy and supports legislation that would allow women to become reigning empresses."
