The Conservative Party of Japan (Japanese: 日本保守党, Nippon Hoshutō; CPJ) is a politically conservative,[20] Japanese ultranationalist[9] and right-wing populist[21] political party in Japan. It was founded by novelist Naoki Hyakuta and journalist Kaori Arimoto in 2023, following the passage of the LGBT Understanding Promotion Act.[22][23] The party claims to, "protect Japan's national polity and traditional culture" and is often characterised as being opposed to immigration, opposed to LGBTQ rights[24] and uses historically revisionist rhetoric.[25] Party leaders are believed to be engaged in denying Japanese war crimes committed prior to and during the Second World War, such as the Nanjing Massacre.[26][27]

The party is categorized as an far-right entity within Japan's political spectrum due to its origins in online political discourse and the predominance of right-wing netizens among its membership.[28][29] Founded by internet political commentators, the party's reliance on digital activism and the propagation of its viewpoints in online spaces solidify its reputation as a manifestation of the far-right movement in Japan.[30][31] Multiple other sources specifically state the party's political position as far-right.[13][14][15] The party has been the most followed Japanese political party on X (formerly Twitter) since September 2023.[32]

The party opposes LGBT rights in Japan,[22][33] immigration,[34] and gender equality.[35] It supports welfare chauvinism,[36] revising the constitution,[36] and a stronger foreign policy against China and North Korea.[36] The party is regarded as being part of the neoconservative movement in Japan.[37] The Asahi Shimbun has noted that the party draws its support from individuals previously affiliated with the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) but grew dissatisfied with the moderate policies of party leader and prime minister Fumio Kishida.[38][39][40]
