The Komeito, also known as the Clean Government Party or New Komeito, is a political party in Japan that plays a significant role in the country's political landscape, often as a coalition partner of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). Founded in 1964, it has its roots in the lay Buddhist organization Soka Gakkai, which has a substantial following in Japan. The relationship between Komeito and Soka Gakkai has been a subject of much discussion, with the party often seen as the political extension of the religious movement, although it operates independently in the political arena.
