#2 Under Japan's constitution, could he end up as prime minister? If so, he could be one of a very few people in history (maybe even the first?)* to be head of state of two different countries.

*Pu Yi was the last Emperor of China, then lost that job, then later was (figure)head of state of Manchuria (Manchuko). Manchuria was part of China when he was Emperor, so would that count?
