The National Socialist Japanese Workers' Party (国家社会主義日本労働者党, Kokka Shakaishugi Nippon Rōdōsha-Tō) is a neo-Nazi political party in Japan. It is headed by Kazunari Yamada [ja], who maintains a website and blog which includes praise for Adolf Hitler and the September 11 attacks.[2][3] Pictures of Yamada, a Holocaust-denier, posing with Cabinet minister Sanae Takaichi and LDP policy research chief Tomomi Inada were discovered on the website and became a source of controversy;[4][5] both have denied support for the party.[2][3]
