"Shinji Ishimaru entered the #Tokyo governor’s race...using his “internet strategy” to appeal to voters fed up with politics"
"According to exit polls...36% of unaffiliated voters chose Ishimaru, compared with 32% for Koike"

    Shinji Ishimaru, a former mayor of Akitakata, Hiroshima Prefecture, put up a good fight in the Tokyo gubernatorial election on Sunday despite not receiving support from any of the political parties.
