Liberal Party (自由党 Jiyūtō?) was a right-wing party in Japan, founded on November 9, 1945, mainly by former members of Seiyukai Party. Its first leader was Ichirō Hatoyama. In 1946-1947 and 1948-1954, the next party leader Shigeru Yoshida was the Prime Minister.
The initial name of the party was Japan Liberal Party ( Nihon Jiyūtō?). In 1948, the Japan Liberal Party merged with Kijūrō Shidehara's Dōshi Club (?), not to be confused with the Democratic Party, to form the Democratic Liberal Party ( Minshu Jiyūtō?).
