Reiji Namikawa: zodiac sign and birth chart
Reiji Namikawa is a Leo, born August 3, 1974. An executive at the Yotsuba Group and the smartest and most cautious of the bunch, who always thinks one step ahead and never shows his cards. Mercury and Venus in Cancer explain the caution, and the Leo Sun explains why he still wants a seat at the head of the table.

NEBO's take
Canon says Leo. Our model says Gemini.
We ran Namikawa through the same model that matches people to characters in the app, and looked at which chart gets him most often. It reads him as air first: quick, calculating and looking for the clever way out.

Canon's Leo wants the seat at the top. Our Gemini is the player who talks his way to it.
- Moon

Canon's Aquarius stays cool and detached. Our Gemini is just as quick, and even harder to read.
- Rising

No birth time in canon. First impression: a composed executive who listens more than he talks.
- Mercury
CanonCancerNEBO's takeGemini
Cancer Mercury is careful with words and protective of his skin. He looks for the move that costs him least. Our Gemini keeps every option open.
- Venus
CanonCancerNEBO's takeGemini
Cancer Venus values safety and comfort over glory. Our Gemini likes being clever more than being brave.
- Mars
CanonVirgoNEBO's takeGemini
Canon's Virgo calculates every risk before moving. Our Gemini does it faster, and with a smile.
Where we agree: he thinks before he acts. Canon's Cancer plays it safe, and our Gemini finds the profitable angle.
