Tsubasa Party (Japanese: つばさの党, romanized: Tsubasa no tō, lit. 'The Party of Wings') is a political party in Japan founded in 2019. The party garnered nationwide controversy during the 2024 by-elections in the Tokyo 15th district for alleged election interference and sabotage, which led to the arrests of party leaders Kurokawa and Nemoto on suspicions of violating Japanese election laws.[4][5][6]
