After Shinzo Abe died, the Abe family began to think about the issue of "successor".
People who often read Japanese comics, movies and TV works should know that Japan is a country where blood and origin are very important.
Although Japan has a form of democratic elections on the surface, it is actually a very conservative patriarchal society that still continues the tradition of eldest son inheritance .
It is common in Japan for people to inherit their status as members of parliament and inherit their father's sushi restaurant.
Shinzo Abe Although he is already a former prime minister, he has the status of an "emperor" in Japan due to his influence.
If it were someone else, then it wouldn't be a problem who would inherit the "grand rule" of the family, but as we all know, Shinzo Abe has no offspring, and his daughter-in-law Akie Abe is infertile.
The Abe family has a huge influence in Japanese politics:
His mother Abe Yoko is a member of the House of Representatives.
His father Shintaro Abe is also a member of the House of Representatives.
His grandfather Nobusuke Kishi was the Prime Minister of Japan.
His second grandfather Sato Eisaku also served as the Prime Minister of Japan.
also has many relatives serving in the government.
Shinzo Abe’s daughter-in-law, Akie Abe, was unable to have children and had planned to adopt an adopted child.
Abe Akie fell in love with Hiroto Abe, the eldest son of his brother Abe Hironobu.
Hiroto Abe is a very talented young man who graduated from a prestigious school. However, he has been reluctant to enter politics since he was a student and now works for a large trading company."
If Shinzo Abe is not killed, he will continue to serve as the spokesperson of the Abe family for at least 10 years. Therefore, until he is killed I didn't even consider the issue of successor before killing.
Now, because Abe was accidentally killed,
currently has two options:
adopts a child and cultivates it as Shinzo Abe's heir. It was Abe Akie who took the initiative, but this option was not accepted by conservative Japanese.
