Kiichi Miyazawa, 78, had earlier declared he was too old and had "no will" to take the demanding cabinet post of finance minister.
Miyazawa's record is not without blemishes: He was ousted as prime minister after losing a no-confidence vote in parliament in 1993.
Even Miyazawa's supporters worry that he is physically unable to perform the more rigorous parts of the job, particularly the grueling globe-trotting for economic summits or standing before parliament for many hours at a stretch to answer questions about the economic crisis.

Japan's finance minister Kiichi Miyazawa roiled currency and financial markets yesterday by testifying before Parliament that the government's finances were close to a catastrophe.
The substance of what Miyazawa said is old news in Japan, where the economy has stagnated for a decade and the government debt is at a level unknown in the West.
First, Miyazawa may have been influenced by career officials in the ministry of finance, who are monetarists and dislike the idea of government spending as a means of economic stimulus.

     "Minister Miyazawa told me that Japan's foreign exchange policy was unchanged, and that excessive weakness of the yen was undesirable for the Japanese economy as well as for the Asian and world economy," Kuroda said.
     Regarding the Japanese economy, Miyazawa said it may be difficult to achieve the government's forecast of 1.9 percent growth for this fiscal year, which started in April, if current economic trends were to continue.

Miyazawa will become Japan's oldest finance minister in its post-World War II period, and Japanese media reported that his hesitation to say yes to the new post was not least because of his age.
Miyazawa, who has held 13 Cabinet posts, including finance minister, will be a key figure in the new Cabinet.
Miyazawa is also said to have close ties with key U.S. policy-makers such as Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, which could be a plus in dealing with a Washington, which wants bold economic action fast.

 Asia Times: Japan: Unsolved problems and bad IMF advice
In response to the IMF official's suggestion, Miyazawa said the government would decide whether or not additional fiscal measures were needed after the release of April-June gross domestic product data in September.
As is common for Miyazawa (and his institution), the finance minister was punting - or hedging if you prefer that glorified financial term for indecision.
Some encouraging April economic data will have persuaded Miyazawa that there was no need to quickly endorse Fischer's advice, while, of course, no senior LDP politician would ever foreclose the possibility of allocating more taxpayer money to pork-barrel projects in the future.

About the only free time Miyazawa has these days is the occasional walk in the park with his dog -- but even then, he is swarmed by inquisitive reporters.
Consider the problems Miyazawa faces as captain of Japan's sick economy: A decade ago, Japan was the envy of the world, averaging a growth rate of about 3.5%.

Later the government moved to soften the minister's stark warnings, saying that Mr Miyazawa was referring to future problems if nothing was done in 10 or 20 years.

Koizumi also said he was advised by his predecessor Kiichi Miyazawa, who has served twice as finance minister, to be cautious about growing demands for the setting of an inflation target to reverse a steep slide in prices that curbed economic growth.
But the premier said that his predecessor, Miyazawa, warned in a meeting Tuesday that an inflation target could result in such "side effects" as a steep decline in government bond prices and spiraling prices.
Miyazawa, a former finance bureaucrat, ended his second term as finance minister when Koizumi assumed the premiership in April 2001, with his reputation flawed by his failure to refloat a sickly economy and cut massive state debt

 Call to loosen restrictions on Japan's army / Statesman wants ability to help U.S.
Miyazawa's declarations will "make the news in Japan," predicted Gerald Curtis, a Japan expert from Columbia University who was in the audience of diplomats, scholars and business leaders from both countries.
Miyazawa's statements tapped into a growing debate in Japan on the right of collective self-defense, including a military role in multinational peacekeeping operations, Curtis said.
Miyazawa said he was expressing his view, not the government's, but the fact that a mainstream pacifist leader of Miyazawa's stature has endorsed a somewhat larger military role can be seen as "reflecting a changing mood in Japan," Curtis said.

 KeepMedia | U.S.News & World Report: No Honeymoon for the New Team in Tokyo
TOKYO--Kiichi Miyazawa, Japan's new 78-year-old finance minister, received his first rude lesson in the fine art of marketspeak last week.
To many Americans, Miyazawa is perhaps best known as the prime minister who fielded flu-ridden President George Bush's half-digested meal at a state dinner in 1992.
In Japan, he is regarded as a powerful faction leader and elder statesman of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and as a rare politician with practical experience in economics.

 TIME.com: Is There A Recession In Japan's Near Future? -- Page 1
Japan's Finance Minister, KIICHI MIYAZAWA, is regarded as the island of calm in the chaotic sea that passes for Japan's government.
Miyazawa was talking specifically about Japan's budget deficit, expected to reach $5.57 trillion at the end of March, nearly 130% of GDP, the highest proportion in the developed world.
That's just the worst of many problems: stocks are trading at their lowest levels since the 1980s bubble economy popped; industrial production declined more than 11% in January; banks are sitting on mountains of bad debt; flaccid consumer spending has left the country in a deflationary spiral.

This goes against everything Kiichi can think about since he doesn't understand what his father is doing but he still does his best to try to surmount the training.
With a bit more than half of this forty minute episode spent on training Kiichi and bringing him to the next level both physically and mentally, the second half with the fight of the series turns out to be rather, well, dull.
The disconnect that's there is supposed to make us see that Kiichi is at his father's level presumably, but it just feels very weak to me especially towards the final few scenes of the fight.
