Sohei Kamiya (神谷 宗幣, Kamiya Sōhei, born 12 October 1977) is a Japanese politician who is the founder and Secretary General of right-wing populist political party Sanseitō. Kamiya is serving as a member of the House of Councillors since 2022 through the Proportional Representation Block.
A conspiracy theorist who promotes COVID-19 misinformation and anti-vaccine propaganda,[1] Kamiya gained international media attention while campaigning for the 2022 House of Councillors election due to his antisemitic rhetoric during public appearances and campaign rallies.[2] His party has been described as a cult by experts and his political opponents.[3]
