After graduating from Ritsumeikan University, he joined the Mainichi Shimbun. In 2016, he moved to BuzzFeed Japan. In 2018, he became independent and contributed to magazines and web media as a freelance non-fiction writer. In 2020, he won the 26th Editor's Choice Magazine Journalism Award for his feature "The Naoki Hyakuta Phenomenon" in Newsweek Japan. In 2021, he won the 1st PEP Journalism Grand Prize for "The True Nature of the 'Self-Restraint Police'" (Bungeishunju). His books include "Living with Risk, Living with the Dead" (Aki Shobo), "Reportage: The Naoki Hyakuta Phenomenon" (Shogakukan), "The Future of News" (Kobunsha), "Walking the Invisible Line" (Kodansha), and "The True Nature of the 'Hated': Japan's Tricksters" (Shincho Shinsho). On November 17, voting took place for the Hyogo Prefectural gubernatorial election following the loss of former governor Motohiko Saito. As a result, Saito won his second term, defeating former Amagasaki mayor Kazumi Inamura and former House of Councillors member Takayuki Shimizu. One of the factors that boosted Saito's reelection is believed to be the "support" from Takashi Tachibana, who was also running for governor. His posts on YouTube and short videos on X (formerly Twitter) were viewed many times, and some people changed the impression of Saito, who had been accused of power harassment. This time, we invited Takashi Tachibana, the leader of the Party to Protect the People from NHK, who is also a party involved, as our guest, and asked him about the changes in the media environment surrounding politics for about 70 minutes (guest interviewer Satoshi Ishido). In the first part, we will look into "what Takashi Tachibana did" in this Hyogo gubernatorial election. We will ask about the much-talked-about "defeat of the mass media," the pros and cons of his actions in the election speech, which have been criticized by some, and the future of politics.
