Most politicians are absolutely guilty of fraud.
I'd even go so far as saying that fraud is pretty rampant in all levels of society.

I'm stupid, can someone explain to me how this is illegal? Like morally questionable I get, but how is it illegal?

According to a quick Google fraud in Japan is
obtaining property or illicit economic advantages through deceit.
Gifts I assume are property here

Seems to fit the official definition pretty neatly. Colloquially, I tend to agree with you, there's a spectrum for fraud. But this still counts as fraud. It's a fraudulent misrepresentation of the truth to convince others to part with something of value (a gift).
The fact that it's a gift doesn't change that this is fraud, only the severity of fraud in a legal sense.

I'm definitely not a legal expert, especially for Japan.
but this sounds like a con artist.

It's pretty much the textbook definition of fraud. What are you talking about?
Fraud is defined as intentional deception to deprive a victim of a legal right or to gain unlawfully from a victim.
That's what most politicians do every election. Just saying.
laws don't apply to politicians you silly

Your grandma having dementia changes the formula a bit.
Not really, no. It's still using deception for material gain through gift giving. Maybe it's more of an extreme case, but I was being hyperbolic.

It is materially different because a person with dementia can’t legally advocate for themselves so it is easier for an action against them to be considered a crime.

We do - romance scams are fraud, and they're illegal.

It’s a poor definition because gift exchanges are strictly voluntary and non-reciprocal engagements. I’m not saying what he did was ok or even legal in other contexts. My only point is that I wouldn’t consider this fraud because the victims were not compelled to give. This isn’t a Nigerian prince scam where the victims were promised greater returns at a later date. These victims gave with the expectation of monetary loss.
By that logic, fake fundraisers and romance scams shouldn't be illegal either.

Best I can do is legalizing corruption and then spend billion dollars on public programs explaining how lobbying helps the people, not capitalism

Enforcement is the issue. Cops in the USA wouldn't care about this.

Do you get someone a gift if you're only known them for a week? Serious question.
Depends on how bad you're down.

Maybe he was after small gifts like a cupcake?
