Follow: Contact: kmoriyasu@hudson.org Biography Ken Moriyasu is a senior fellow at Hudson Institute, where he focuses on Greater Asia—the Eurasian landmass stretching from Turkey to Japan—now emerging as a primary arena for great power competition among the United States, China, and Russia.
He previously served as foreign correspondent for the Japanese newspaper Nikkei, with postings in Washington, Cairo, Beijing, Dalian, New York, and Washington again. He was also a member of the core team behind Nikkei’s 2015 acquisition of the Financial Times. Born in Chicago, Moriyasu spent ten years of his early life in Camberley, Surrey, in the United Kingdom. He earned a degree in journalism from Sophia University in Tokyo, where he played running back on the university’s American football team. Moriyasu was the last journalist to interview former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, sitting down with him one day before Sharon’s stroke in 2006. His reporting has taken him from the corridors of power in Tokyo, Washington, and Beijing, to the oceans aboard aircraft carriers.
