Video Description

Jon Heese was born in Saskatchewan, Canada, but moved to Japan over 30 years ago. He is the first and only foreigner to become a prefectural-level politician in Japan. Even after all these years his fellow Japanese politicians are still surprised during meetings that Jon can read kanji.
