The Wikipedia page says he's a right-wing WW2 revisionist who leads their Liberal Democratic party.

Wikipedia is a very, very bad source on anything in regard to anything remotely controversial like politics. It's good for stuff with no controversy like math or science but that's about it.

He's had 8 years to improve Japan's place in the World but all he's done is talk and not do anything to better his citizen's lives or help the Economy boom. I hope someone young is elected Prime Minister when he leaves eventually, it's time for the younger generation to take up the reigns of Japan and help lead it.

I doubt the old boys' club would ever allow someone young and forward-looking to come into office.

He's a useless piece of shit, in terms of doing anything that helps regular people, that is. Smoke and mirrors are par for the course, as he's an all-talk, little action kind of politician; keeps "urging" this and that, has raised the consumption tax, which hurts regular people and is entirely counter to his ideas of stimulating the sluggish Japanese domestic economy. His structural reforms, the "third arrow of Abenomics" have never taken off. He has done very little to support (working) women, per his promotion of "womenomics", which just further drags out the demographic collapse Japan finds itself in. He's been much more focused on using political capital to revise the post-war Constitution.
He's a member of Nippon Kaigi, which is an openly revisionist organization that outright denies or claims Japanese war crimes were exaggerated, supports state shinto, opposes LGBT-rights, etc. They are ultra-conservative reactionaries who want a return to pre-war Japan.

Does anyone know a potential candidate? So far I only know about Abe's rival, former defense minister Shigeru Ishiba, and the current deputy PM Taro Aso. Both are hardly reformists. Masayoshi Shido would very quickly make Japan great again, though.
