Sono is considered to be a conservative. She was considered to be an advisor to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. She has drawn controversy for advocating for a system similar to South Africa's apartheid for Japan's immigrants.[1][2][3] She has also advocated for women to quit their jobs after becoming pregnant.[4]
