Primarily known for politics, government, being royalty or nobility, being a victim of or committing a crime (or crimes), or espionage?

(OP to interpret the above as they please, I’ve mellowed out in the last 9 months)

Edit: congrats on 4 years

I think I will pass on this question, since it is a bit on the subjective side (try answering it for, say, the last handful of American presidents and presidential candidates). I will say for free that he didn't appear to be universally disliked.

Ha!

I was like, "Why would Spartaculous choose some random prime minister of Japan?" and then I saw it. Great round. Next one will be up before I go to bed.
