Democratic Party of Japan leader Naoto Kan is secretly called the "destroyer" among the nation's business circles for his revisionist views and advocacy toward an overhaul of the nation's political and administrative systems.
"If the DPJ becomes the ruling power, it will change the (policymaking) landscape of this country and overhaul the administrative system rooted in the bureaucratic center of (the Tokyo district of) Kasumigaseki and resuscitate the whole system," Kan said in a recent interview with The Japan Times.
