Yoshihide Suga: who is Japan’s new prime minister?
- Suga, 71, is a farmer’s son who was described as a ‘shadow prime minister’ during his career as Shinzo Abe’s top spokesman
- His notorious work ethic, which sees him living near the office and doing 200 sit-ups a day, is almost matched by his love of pancakes
