The Party of Life (Japanese: いのちの党, Hepburn: Inochi no Tō) 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 Councillors election in July 2019, gaining two seats only about three and a half months after the formation of the party. Until August 2026, the party was named Reiwa Shinsengumi (れいわ新選組) after the current era name Reiwa and the Shinsengumi of the Bakumatsu period.
