Anti-American conservative

Anti-American conservative (Japanese: 反米保守, Hepburn: han-Bei hoshu) is a term used in Japan to describe right-leaning or conservative individuals who hold critical views towards the United States, particularly on matters of foreign policy, defense or cultural influence.

In contemporary Japanese politics, mainstream consensus - especially those affiliated with the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) tends to maintain a pro-American stance, emphasizing on the importance of the Japanese-American alliance. While anti-American sentiment is common among the Japanese pacifist left, some conservatives have expressed opposition to perceived American domination on Japanese foreign and defense matters or to American cultural influence.
