Reiwa Shinsengumi (Japanese: れいわ新選組) is a progressive[8][9] and left-wing populist[10][11] political party in Japan founded by actor-turned-politician Taro Yamamoto in April 2019. The party was formed by left-wing members of the Liberal Party who opposed its merger with the Democratic Party for the People.[12] The party won more than 4% of the vote after contesting the House of Councilors election in July 2019, gaining two seats only about three and a half months after the formation of the party.[13]
The party, named after the Reiwa era and the Shinsengumi elite swordsman corps of the Bakumatsu period, is variously described as being anti-austerity, anti-establishment,[11][14][15] and anti-nuclear power[16] as well as supporting animal welfare,[16] minority rights,[16][17] and economic interventionism.[18] The party is sometimes considered a "liberal-populist" party,[19] and the main supporters of this party are also left-liberals.[20][21]
