Prime Minister Aso has a long history working in government and is closely associated to many political and royal Japanese figures through birth, friendship and other relatives.

Many people like Prime Minister Taro Aso because of his charm and warm personality. But don’t underestimate him for being a pushover. He is strong in his beliefs and asserts himself in everything he does.
