Sanseito, a Japanese populist party that draws inspiration from Donald Trump's politics, is gaining support ahead of Sunday's upper house elections, suggesting a notable shift in the country's traditionally centrist landscape.

With his calls to limit foreign workers, fight globalism and put “Japanese First,” Sohei Kamiya has brought a fiery right-wing populism to Japan’s election on Sunday.

Hundreds showed up for Japan’s far-right Sanseito party’s rally on Monday (July 21) where supporters celebrated their victory in Tokyo after the fringe far-right party emerged as one of the biggest winners in the country's upper house election.
