Reiwa Shinsengumi (れいわ新選組) is a progressive and left-wing populist political party in Japan founded by actor-turned-politician Taro Yamamoto in April 2019. The party was formed by left-wing members of the Liberal Party who opposed its merger with the Democratic Party for the People. The party won more than 4% of the vote after contesting the House of Councilors election in July 2019, gaining two seats only about three and a half months after the formation of the party.
The party is named after the current era name Reiwa and the Shinsengumi of the Bakumatsu period.
