Team Mirai (Japanese: チームみらい) is a political organization and emerging party in Japan, founded in 2025 by AI engineer and entrepreneur Takahiro Anno.

At the founding press conference, Anno announced his candidacy for the 2025 Japanese House of Councillors election via the national proportional representation block and stated that the party would field more than ten candidates nationwide.[1]

Overview

[edit]
  • After running as an independent in the 2024 Tokyo gubernatorial election and placing fifth with approximately 150,000 votes, Anno expressed frustration with the limitations of traditional political systems and began planning a new party.[2]
  • Team Mirai's slogan is "A Japan where no one is left behind by technology," and it aims to make political decision-making more open and accessible to the public.[3]
  • The party has developed a real-time political funding disclosure system called PoliMoney to increase financial transparency.[4]

Policy and Platform
