...being king once were not enough for Japan's former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi - who once serenaded President George W. Bush with Elvis oldies at Graceland - the man with the coif and charisma of Japan's most popular postwar leader is back for an encore: this time as Ultraman King...

Kurton takes stage, joking, “Every divide between the Two Cultures is bridgeable, except this one: humanists write out their talks and scientists extemporize.” With his mixture of humorous anecdotes and general charisma, Kurton emerges the clear winner.
