TheJapan New Party (日本新党,Nihon Shintō) was a Japanesepolitical party that existed briefly from 1992 to 1994.[13]

The party, considered liberal, was founded byMorihiro Hosokawa, a former Diet member andKumamoto Prefecture governor, who left theLiberal Democratic Party to protest corruption scandals. In 1992, the party elected four members to theHouse of Councillors, including Hosokawa. Although this was a disappointing result for them, in 1993 they were able to capitalize on voter dissatisfaction with the LDP, electing a total of 35 members (including 3 who joined after the election). Hosokawa becamePrime Minister leading abroad coalition, but was soon forced to resign.

The party defended the politicalreformism,[14][15] rights ofconsumers[15] and supporteddecentralization.[15]

By 1994, the Japan New Party dissolved, its members flowing into theNew Frontier Party (新進党).

Several Diet members who've become prominent in other parties were first elected for the Japan New Party, includingYoshihiko Noda,Seiji Maehara,Yukio Edano,Toshimitsu Motegi,Yuriko Koike andTakashi Kawamura.
