Yukio Hatoyama has a blog

In order to counteract his plummeting popularity, as of January 1, 2010, Yukio Hatoyama – the prime minister of Japan – has set up a blog and twitter account in order to reach out to the general public. It was all done under the creative direction of Yuji Tokuda (I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t include that tid-bit of design intel), who incorporated the pigeon into the design. Hatoyama literally means pigeon mountain.

Tokuda has added a disclaimer on his website saying he is not affiliated with, nor does he necessarily support, the Democratic Party of Japan.
