Inukai Tsuyoshi

Inukai Tsuyoshi is a Japanese statesman and leader of the Rikken Seiyūkai (Constitutional Association of Political Friendship), a strongly conservative and monarchist political party. A contender in the upcoming general election, Inukai has been a staunch opponent of the incumbent Prime Minister, Wakatsuki Reijirō, and his Rikken Minseitō (Constitutional Democratic Party).

Swayed by vested Japanese imperial interests, Inukai approves of Japan's membership of the Council of Allies, and holds military sympathies that Japan should be the guardian angel of Asia against communism. Moreover, Inukai has approved of military alliances with the likes of the United Kingdom, its strongest trading and military partner, with strong areas of contempt towards the United States and their growing strength in the Pacific.

Inukai, much like the Prime Minister, has overseen a rise in tensions and conflict between the government and the military, of which he believes a suitable option should be to emphasise the power of the Emperor, Hirohito, to handle the matter. A strong believer in Japanese national stability, Inukai believes the Emperor should become the symbol of guidance for the Japanese people that he is meant to be, rather than let him become a puppet on a string to the military. A possible election in 1932 could give Inukai that very foundation to save Japanese democracy and uphold the divinity of the monarchy.
