The Japan Democratic Party (日本民主党, Nihon Minshutō) was a political party in Japan. The party has been described as centre-right[1] to right-wing[2] conservative,[2][3] and ultra-conservative.[4]

Existing from 1954 to 1955, the party was founded by Ichirō Hatoyama, former foreign minister Mamoru Shigemitsu and future Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi.[3] The party was formed on 24 November 1954, by merging Ichiro Hatoyama's group which left the Liberal Party in 1953, and the Shigemitsu-led Kaishintō party. On 15 November 1955, the Japan Democrats merged with the Liberals to form the modern Liberal Democratic Party.
