Asakura Keita, 35, is an all-around nice guy who is a primary school teacher from rural Nagano Prefecture. His recently deceased father had been a Diet (House of Representatives) member from Kyushu and Keita finds himself under pressure to inherit his father's position and seat. Although Keita has no political aspirations, he agrees to run as a Diet candidate for his father's seat to get everyone off his back permanently.
