Komeito (公明党, Kōmeitō), formerly New Komeito (NKP) and commonly referred to as simply Komei, is a political party in Japan founded by the leader of Soka Gakkai, Daisaku Ikeda, in 1964. It is generally considered centrist and socially conservative. Since 2012, it has served in government as the junior coalition partner of the nationalist and conservative governments led by the Liberal Democratic Party.
Tetsuo Saito has been the president of the party since 9 November 2024. Komeito currently has 24 elected Deputies in the Japanese House of Representatives.
