Takaichi\u2019s resume blends her strong brand of conservatism with a rock-and-roll streak while drawing inspiration from former British Prime Minister\u00a0Margaret Thatcher.<\/p>\n<p>Takaichi, 64, came to power earlier this month after the resignation of former Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, following the Liberal Democratic Party\u2019s loss of its upper-house majority in July.<\/p>\n<p>Known for her uncompromising views on defense and social issues, Trump&#8217;s visit will be her first major diplomatic test. The two leaders will discuss regional security, trade and Japan\u2019s defense spending \u2014 areas where their views largely align.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/sanae-takaichi-becomes-japans-first-female-prime-minister-citing-thatcher-inspiration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>SANAE TAKAIHI BECOMES JAPAN\u2019S FIRST FEMALE PRIME MINISTER, CITING THATCHER INSPIRATION<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She\u2019s a hawk\u00a0on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/world\/world-regions\/china\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">China<\/a>, and that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s needed right now,&#8221; said Gordon Chang, author and Asia analyst, in an interview with Fox News Digital. &#8220;That\u2019s not going to upset President Trump \u2014 in fact, it will help him in his discussions with Xi Jinping because he can say, \u2018Look, the alliances are strong and getting stronger.\u2019&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Chang said the meeting comes at a critical time for regional stability.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;America\u2019s alliance relationship with South Korea is in danger because Lee Jae-myung \u2026 is very pro-China and very anti-American,&#8221; he added. &#8220;That makes it even more important that our relationship with Japan gets stronger \u2014 which it will under Takaichi. Things were going very well with Japan, and I think that Takaichi is going to continue Japanese policies, so this will be important.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Takaichi\u2019s rise is remarkable in a party long dominated by political dynasties. Born in Nara Prefecture to a police officer mother and a father who worked for a car company affiliated with Toyota, she often describes herself as an outsider in Japan\u2019s elite political world.<\/p>\n<p>Before entering politics, she channeled her energy into music \u2014 playing drums in a heavy metal band during her youth, performing songs by Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. She reportedly still keeps an electronic drum kit in her Tokyo residence and plays with headphones to unwind after work. Takaichi was also known in her younger years as an avid motorcycle rider.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/japan-calls-axis-china-russia-north-korea-gravest-threat-global-order-since-wwii\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>JAPAN CALLS AXIS OF CHINA, RUSSIA, NORTH KOREA THE &#8216;GRAVEST THREAT&#8217; TO GLOBAL ORDER SINCE WWII<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In early remarks, Takaichi said she admired Thatcher\u2019s &#8220;strong character and convictions&#8221; and that she met the former British leader at a symposium shortly before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/thatcher-centennial-celebration-examines-how-reagan-partnership-guides-modern-us-uk-relations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thatcher\u2019s death in 2013<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The combination of a conservative politician with a rock-and-roll past \u2014\u00a0Japan\u2019s first female prime minister behind a drum kit and once on a bike \u2014 has helped shape her public image as both disciplined and unconventional.<\/p>\n<p>Takaichi is widely described as an ideological heir to the late Prime Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/shinzo-abe-dead-japan-longest-serving-prime-minister-conservative-kingmaker-strengthened-us-ties\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shinzo Abe<\/a>, aligning with his push to revise Japan\u2019s pacifist constitution and boost the country\u2019s defense capabilities. Her economic policy continues much of Abe\u2019s &#8220;Abenomics,&#8221; emphasizing fiscal expansion and monetary easing \u2014 a contrast to Thatcher-style austerity. Yet her assertive tone and ideological discipline echo the British prime minister she idolizes.<\/p>\n<p>At home, Takaichi holds staunchly traditional views. She opposes same-sex marriage, rejects allowing separate surnames for married couples and supports the imperial family\u2019s male-only succession, according to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n<p>The two leaders are expected to meet later tonight in Tokyo.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/japans-first-female-pm-meet-trump-what-know-about-heavy-metal-fan\">Source &#8211; https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/japans-first-female-pm-meet-trump-what-know-about-heavy-metal-fan <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump offered complimentary words about Sanae Takaichi \u2014 Japan\u2019s first female prime minister \u2014 upon arriving in Japan on Monday.
