" Koike " May Become Japan's First Female PM

A trailblazer who became Japan's first woman in key jobs like defence minister and governor of the capital, Koike has played on her natural appeal and reformist zeal to win over voters and some in the old-school political world.

Tokyo governor Yuriko Koike is a media-savvy veteran who has charmed her way through Japan's male-dominated politics and transformed its sleepy political landscape with a wildcard new party that caught everyone off-guard.

Often touted as Japan's potential first female prime minister, the charismatic former television anchorwoman combines a natural understanding of the media with a ruthless stomach for the fight, observers say.
