  2. Takaichi's political path was fueled by her drive to be an unconventional Japanese leader, but that same approach painted her into a corner.

Fiscal expansion wasn't an option anymore, it only threatened to make inflation worse for a struggling Japanese economy. On top of that, her hawkish stance toward China strained ties with Japan's biggest export market. Trapped by the demands of her right-wing base, her policies appeared increasingly out of touch with reality.
