Peru WI: No Alberto Fujimori

When Alberto Fujimori's father was originally planing on immigrating from Japan, he was going to relocate to Hawaii. However, he chose Peru due to complications in immigrating to the US at the time.

What if, because of that, his family moved to the U.S. and never laid foot in Peru? How would Peru be different?
 
From what I understand, Fujimori's success as a candidate rested mainly on his being an outsider and a (perceived) foreigner. His opponent in the 1990 election, writer and future Nobel Prize for Literature laureate Mario Vargas Llosa, was a classic lefty-turned-neoliberal who wanted to do much of what Fujimori ended up doing for the Peruvian economy, which was to follow the IMF-prescribed austerity program and attack hyperinflation by cutting price controls and economic restrictions on foreign investments and hold a fire sale of Peruvian state utilities. The main question is to not whether or not a Vargas Llosa Administration would have carried out their own "Fujishock" in this timeline, but to what degree.

Given Vargas Llosa's famous remarks against what he called Mexico's "perfect dictatorship," it seems unlikely that he would have attempted anything remotely like Fujimori's "auto-coup" in 1992 where he suspended the constitution and dissolved the Congress. It's also unsure whether Vargas Llosa would have unleashed Peruvian intelligence agencies and armed militias in illegal counter-guerilla activities against Shining Path. Guzman is probably not captured in September of 1992, but perhaps later on. Given the political gridlock which seized Peru IOTL would probably have persisted longer without extra-constitutional measures, Vargas Llosa's presidency (limited by law to one term) probably would have simply postponed Peru's rendezvous with popular extremism.
