The Japanese drone company taking on Russia in Ukraine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
To the inevitable question of what a Japanese businessman is doing in the war in Ukraine, Toru Tokushige, chairman of drone maker Terra Drone Corporation, provides two reasons: a business opportunity that doesn’t exist in his country and the conviction that Japan is an archipelago at high risk of attack. Tokushige, 56, received EL PAÍS in his office in central Tokyo, and during the whole conversation kept his fingers on the keyboard of a laptop connected to a giant screen. On a map of Ukraine he
The new frontier of Japan’s rearmament is cyberspace (opens the original)

Controversy in Japan over Prime Minister Takaichi’s excessive work zeal: ‘Between 0 and 3 hours of sleep a day’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A message posted this week on the social network X by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, in which she boasts of sleeping “between 0 and 3 hours” a night, has sparked intense controversy in Japan. The debate raises the question as to whether such excessive work zeal and extreme devotion to wakefulness sets a bad example for the public.
