Team Yoshimura was a liberal-conservative local political party that was active in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan during the 2010s. The party was founded by ex-DPJ politician Hideki Yoshimura in the aftermath of the party's collapse at the 2012 general election, and it brought together members of the party's right flank in opposition to the left-wing Party of Hasegawa, the green Chimu 4 Kankyo party, and the localist Local Improvement Society. As the party was more of a clique within the DPJ than an ideologically-driven force, it had a vague ideology combining economic liberalism and moderate political conservatism with green politics, anti-militarism, and a degree of cultural liberalism. The party emerged as the main local successor to the national DPJ at the 2012 prefecture elections, which they ultimately lost to the LDP.
