Shisuikai

Shisuikai () was a faction within the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). It is led by former LDP secretary-general Toshihiro Nikai. It was considered to be a mid-sized faction. Nikai was considered to be one of the most pro-China lawmakers in Japan, and was also close to LDP's ally, the Komeito. On 19 January 2024, Nikai announced his intention to dissolve the faction, amidst a slush fund scandal within the LDP.
