[b]Occupation:[/b] Prime Minister of Japan

[b]Nationality:[/b] Japanese

[b]Personality:[/b] Ueda is a calm, thoughtful man, one who projects a carefully cultivated image of dignified seriousness to the world. However, in spite of his gravitas, he is indecisive and reliant on the opinions of others in order to get anything done, perhaps depending too much on his advisers. His thoughtfulness can be something of a handicap- he takes a long time to make decisions, carefully weighing all variables. 

[b]Brief Bio:[/b] Hirotoshi Ueda was born and raised in Niigata. Excelling in school, he developed an interest in politics early on, entering at a local level in his prefecture. He gained a reputation as solidly competent and reliable, if unimaginative, and worked his way up through the bureaucracy. He was eventually persuaded by a citizen action group to stand for election to the lower house of the National Diet, representing Niigata. Hardworking and serious, Ueda managed to make himself a pillar of his political party, working diligently towards the party line but not being so splashy as to attract unwanted press. The party considers him a useful tool and good figurehead. When the previous Prime Minister was ousted in a no-confidence vote following an embarassing sex scandal, it was almost unanimously agreed that the next man in office should be inoffensive, uncontroversial, and serious-minded- the representative from Niigata was a perfect fit. Ueda has spent the first few months of his administration carefully doing very little, and has yet to be seriously tested.
