Description
Can a candidate with no political experience and no charisma win an election?
Perhaps û if he is backed by the political giant, Prime Minister Koizumi and
his Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). In the fall of 2005, 40-year-old, self-
employed Kazuhiko ôYama-sanö YamauchiÆs peaceful, humdrum life was turned
upside-down when KoizumiÆs LDP party chose him at the last moment as its
official candidate to run for a vacant seat on the Kawasaki City Council.

With zero experience in politics, no charisma, no supporters, and no
constituency, Yama-San has one week to prepare for an election critical to the
future of the LDP. Adhering to the campaign tactic of ôbowing to everybody,
even to telephone poles,ö Yama-san visits local festivals, senior gatherings,
commuter train stations, and even bus stops to offer his hand to everyone he
sees. Can he win this heated race? Campaign! The Kawasaki Candidate offers up
a microcosm of Japanese democracy.
