The leader of a country is undoubtedly the most high-profile profession in the world, and it is also one of the most dangerous professions. In the history of the United States, four presidents have been assassinated, and five presidents were assassinated while in office but survived.
In this case, the importance of the bodyguards following the president becomes obvious.
And those who often pay attention to news about Japan can find that among the bodyguards around Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe , there is actually an incompatible figure.
That was a petite and cute girl, but her eyes were very sharp. The girl was wearing a close-fitting suit and had a very heroic figure.
When people think of bodyguards, they will think of big and thick men. This girl obviously does not meet people's definition of a bodyguard.
Who is this girl? What exactly did she go through to overcome all obstacles and become the Prime Minister's bodyguard?
"A girl born in a bodyguard family"
Ishida Moemi was born in a bodyguard family in Japan in 1988. Her father and grandfather were both bodyguards.
The arrival of Moe Ishida brought a touch of tenderness to this resolute bodyguard family. Moe Ishida's father and grandfather loved this child very much.
Ishida Moemei's father is a famous bodyguard in Nagata Town, , and Nagata Town is located in the southern part of Chiyoda District, Kyoto.
There are Japan's National Assembly , the House of Representatives, etc., and many Japanese officials also live here.
In other words, this place can be regarded as the political center of Japan, and Ishida Moemi's father is the person responsible for protecting the safety of these big shots.
As a bodyguard, he often cannot go home.
Ishida Moemi’s father spends his days in danger and tension, and has very little time to spend with his family.
Ishida Moemei has known that her father is different from other people's fathers since she was a child, but she is too young to understand why her father wants to live such a "dire straits" life.
When Ishida Moeme got a few years older, she took the initiative to ask her father why he had to work so hard every day.
His father's originally serious face showed his usual kindness when he faced Moe Ishida. He told Moe Ishida:
"Because my father is protecting important people in this country, and their safety is related to the security of the country."
At that time Ishida Moemei is still young and she doesn't understand what these people mean.
But her father's words planted a small seed in Ishida Moemei's heart - she also wanted to become a great bodyguard like her father.
Although Ishida Moemi's family loves this little girl very much, as a bodyguard family, the family still let Ishida Moeme practice various martial arts since she was a child.
While little girls of the same age were being held in the arms of their parents and acting coquettishly, Ishida Momei was already dancing with guns and sticks under the guidance of her family.
Since childhood, Ishida Moemi has been involved in kendo, jujitsu, karate, etc.
Although the family does not have strict requirements for this little girl, Ishida Moemei has extremely high requirements for herself.
She was very thin at a young age, but in order to achieve her best condition, she often started practicing martial arts before dawn.
Seeing that their children were so serious about martial arts, Ishida Moemei’s family also began to pay attention to it.
Her parents treated Ishida Moemei with strict requirements, and her father often conducted surprise assessments on Ishida Moemei to test whether she was serious about her recent practice and whether she had achieved higher achievements.
Ishida Moemei was still young. She would fall every time under her father's hands, but Ishida Moemei did not admit defeat. She got up from the ground again and again and picked up her weapon again.
When Moe Ishida practices, she often makes herself black and blue.
Although it was very painful and tiring, when she thought that her father had been through this before becoming a bodyguard, Ishida Moemi would grit her teeth and persevere.
Ishida Moemi was immersed in her search. All the partners who trained with her gave up one by one. Only Ishida Moeme persisted.
In addition to practicing martial arts, Ishida Moemei also has to go to school. The weight of martial arts classes and cultural classes makes her almost breathless.
Someone around her advised her why a girl would make herself so tired.
But Ishida Moemei does not admit this view of others. Since she has set the goal of being a bodyguard, she must always strive for this goal.
What's more, the most unacceptable thing for people who practice martial arts is to give up halfway.
Looking at his daughter training hard, Moe Ishida’s father felt not only distressed, but also unspeakable pride.
Ishida Moemei’s persistence has not been in vain, she has shown strong talent since she was a child.
When Moe Ishida participated in the Japanese women's judo competition for the first time, she was like a dark horse emerging out of thin air, winning the championship in one fell swoop and attracting everyone's attention.
When the gold medal was in hand, Ishida Moemei felt countless satisfactions in her heart. She felt that the hardships she had endured were nothing.
"Women are not allowed to be inferior to men"
When Ishida Moemei was 18 years old, she won the third level of Japanese Kendo.
In Japan, kendo has a very high status, and is even called the national sport of Japan along with judo. Because of this, the assessment of kendo is very strict.
There are ten levels in Japanese kendo. Ishida Moemi’s third level of kendo doesn’t sound like much, but it’s actually very powerful.
Because in Japan, there is an age limit for obtaining a kendo rank.
One of the conditions for obtaining the fourth degree of Japanese Kendo is that you need to be over 20 years old and have been qualified for the third degree for more than three years.
In other words, Ishida Moemi achieved the third level of Kendo at the age of 18, which was already considered the ceiling for her at that age.
In addition to kendo, Ishida Moemi’s jujitsu level is also exceptionally high.
She once had the experience of defeating ten strong men who were learning Jiu-Jitsu in a single battle. She could be called a woman who was not inferior to men.
As she grew older, Ishida Moemei’s physical fitness and various functions became more and more powerful, and she began to plan her future career.
In Ishida Moemi's view, inheriting her father's legacy and becoming an excellent bodyguard is her most ideal plan.
However, at this time, Ishida Moemei's father showed some hesitation.
In the view of Ishida Moemei’s father, the path of bodyguard is too difficult, and he does not want his daughter to go back to his own difficult path.
The father looked at Moe Ishida with pity: "Dad kept training you when you were a child, so that you can protect yourself in times of danger."
"Because dad has been a bodyguard, he knows how difficult it is, no matter what I don’t want you to bear the same pressure and pain as me.”
Faced with her father’s heart-to-heart talk, Ishida Momei felt very touched, but at the same time, she did not want to give up her dream.
Ishida Moemei has had her own goals since she can remember, and she has been enduring hardships for this.
In order to succeed, she has gone through many hardships and hardships. Now there is only the last step left, how can she give up?
In 2011, 23-year-old Moeme Ishida was admitted to the Security Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and became a heroic female police officer.
In fact, this is also a step in Ishida Moemei's life plan. Since her father does not want her to be a bodyguard, she will adopt roundabout tactics.
In their view, compared to bodyguards, although the police's work is dangerous, it is still more stable and it also contributes to the country.
"Becoming the prime minister's female bodyguard "
During the time when Ishida Moemei was a police officer, she never gave up her dream of becoming a bodyguard.
At this time, the Japanese Presidential Guard is selecting new guard members. As long as they can pass the assessment, they will have the opportunity to become the personal bodyguards of the Prime Minister.
Ishida Moemi was very excited when she heard the news. She felt that she had seen the light of day. , as long as she can pass this assessment, her dream will be within reach.
However, there are countless people participating in this selection, and even the Metropolitan Police Department where Ishida Moemi works has many people who want to participate.
Although Ishida Moemei thinks that her strength is not bad, compared with those male players who have gender advantages, Ishida Moemei still inevitably starts to feel uneasy.
But since she has this goal, she can't back down.
Faced with the disparity in strength between men and women, Ishida Moemei can only make herself stronger.
Before the competition, she used all her free time to train hard and never let herself have a moment of leisure.
When the day came for the competition, Ishida Moeme went all out and competed with her best attitude. The people selected by
were eliminated one after another. At the end, unexpectedly, the person left on the stage was a 23-year-old woman with a thin figure.
This person is Ishida Moemi.
Standing on the podium, Moe Ishida's eyes were full of tears. She proved that her efforts in the first half of her life were not in vain, and she also showed everyone the power of women.
Moe Ishida later became the personal bodyguard of the then Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda, and she became famous in one battle.
Because she looks exactly like Yoko Maki, the heroine in the Japanese TV series "The Bodyguard", Ishida Moemi immediately hit the hearts of countless Japanese otakus.
However, Ishida Moemei has no intention to care about the pursuit of those otakus. Since she has become the prime minister's bodyguard, she must concentrate on her career as a bodyguard.
There are only a handful of female bodyguards in the Prime Minister's Guard. As a rare group, Ishida Moeme has been questioned a lot.
Many male bodyguards feel that Ishida Moe’s reputation is not worthy of her reputation. She has only beauty but no strength. It is just a gimmick.
But after becoming a bodyguard, during a drill, Ishida Moemi, with the cooperation of her companions, actually defeated many male colleagues.
She became famous in one battle, and after that, these people no longer dared to look down on Ishida Moemi, and they all put aside their prejudice against Ishida Moemei.
In addition to being physically strong, these bodyguards must also be "sharp shooters."
There is an assessment for Japanese bodyguards, which requires the bodyguard to quickly draw a gun to protect the target during the execution of the task, and to be able to hit the suspect.
This assessment requires that the time from drawing the gun to shooting cannot exceed 0.5 seconds.
But Moe Ishida is even more powerful. It only takes 0.2 seconds for her to draw and shoot, and her shooting accuracy is over 98%.
Ishida Moemei proved to everyone that her abilities are not weaker than those of these men, and she is even stronger than them.
And Noda Yoshihiko also trusts her very much. Whenever Noda Yoshihiko attends important occasions, there is always the shadow of bodyguard Ishida Moemi around Noda Yoshihiko.
"Rose with thorns"
After Noda Yoshihiko stepped down, Shinzo Abe came to power.
Apparently Shinzo Abe also attaches great importance to the ability of Ishida Moemi as a female bodyguard, and continues to use Ishida Moemi.
Ishida Moemei did not please anyone because of this, she was still neither humble nor overbearing.
Once, Moe Ishida and Shinzo Abe were on a plane at the same time. Although they were in the air, Moe Ishida did not relax her vigilance.
The flight journey was very long. Shinzo Abe was resting on the airplane seat, but Moemi Ishida was always vigilantly staying by Shinzo Abe's side.
When waiting for the plane to land, Shinzo Abe slowly woke up and saw the female bodyguard beside him who was tired but still vigilant. Shinzo Abe asked: "Have you rested?"
Ishida Moeme replied: "No, protect the Prime Minister. It’s my duty, and I don’t dare to slack off for a moment.”
According to rumors, Shinzo Abe dropped his things on the ground when he attended an event.
As the female bodyguard beside Shinzo Abe, Ishida Moeme turned a blind eye to the dropped things, but it was Shinzo Abe who picked up the things himself.
Ishida Moemi has her own statement. She calls herself a security guard, not a nanny. What she needs to provide is constant vigilance, not nanny-style services.
Ishida Moemi’s indifference towards Shinzo Abe is exactly the reflection of her being a qualified bodyguard.
In the eyes of Japanese and Korean people, if a woman goes out without dressing up, it can be regarded as rude.
Even if they are in their forties or fifties, if they just go out to throw away the garbage or buy groceries, Japanese and Korean women will dress up carefully before going out.
However, as a female bodyguard, Ishida Moemei can only abandon the habit of women who love to dress up.
She has neat short hair, wears a loose black suit, and attends various occasions without a face.
Therefore, Ishida Moemi’s dedication is even more admired by the Japanese people.
Faced with various compliments from Japanese netizens, Ishida Moemi behaved very calmly.
Ishida Moemei said that she does not feel that she is so special. All she does is the basic work of a bodyguard.
Ishida Moemi wears an ill-fitting suit all year round, but inside the suit, there are pistols and radios and other devices hidden.
When she was working, Ishida Moemi couldn't think about things like beauty. All she could think about was protecting her target mission.
Outside of work, Moe Ishida is actually just like any other girl.
It is reported that Moe Ishida likes jogging and shopping, and she also enjoys her leisure time when she is resting.
Perhaps it is because of this contrast in cuteness that more Japanese otakus began to pursue Ishida Moemei, and they also affectionately called her "the rose with thorns".
In the past, gender discrimination existed in life and career.
For example, boys are better at science, and girls should study liberal arts; once they enter middle school, girls are not as good as boys, and so on.
There are also industries such as bodyguards, which are monopolized by men.
But now there are more and more women like Ishida Moemi coming out, proving to us that girls can do anything.
hopes that there will be more girls in all walks of life, making the world more colorful.
