The reform bureaucrats (Japanese: 革新官僚, Hepburn: Kakushin kanryо̄), also called revisionist bureaucrats or renovationist bureaucrats, were a group of Japanese civilian statesmen and planners during and after the Second World War, active in the states of the Empire of Japan and its puppet state, Manchukuo. The reform bureaucrats pushed for the establishment and strengthening of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, as well as for the establishment of so-called "techno-fascism".
