Shinzo Abe

In every country and region, there are practices and ways of living and culture that have been handed down from ancestors. Naturally, I feel that these should be respected.

The Senkaku Islands are an integral part of Japanese territory based on international law as well as in the context of our history.

I have no idea who first coined the word 'Abenomics.' It was not my original term for the set of anti-deflation, growth-promotion policies I am now pursuing.

Am I famous in Japan? I don't know, and I don't really think of myself in that way.

Under the previous regime of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, I was detained. So was my wife, Serkalem Fasil. She gave birth to our son in prison in 2005.

I am thrilled to get the chance to write comics - and to tell Forgotten Realms tales, to boot!
