Netto-uyoku

Netto uyoku or Net uyoku (ネット右翼, Japanese internet right-wingers), often abbreviated to Netouyo (ネトウヨ), is the term used to refer to Japanese neo-nationalists who interact almost entirely within their own cyber community, shut off from the rest of Japanese society. Netto uyoku frequently post nationalistic and xenophobic articles on the Internet.

Netto uyoku appeared on the internet during the Lost Decade, which was an economic crisis in Japan from the 1990s to 2010s.

Netto uyoku generally express support for historically revisionist views, portraying Japan in a positive light, juxtaposed with a negative portrayal of China (Sinophobia), North and South Korea (Anti-Korean sentiment), which defends Japan's actions prior to and during World War II. Netto uyoku tend to express hostility towards immigrants from other countries, particularly Zainichi Koreans (在日韓国・朝鮮人, Zainichi-Kankoku-Chōsen-jin, Koreans in Japan), take the Japanese side of territorial disputes such as Takeshima (dispute), Okinoshima, Oki District, Shimane Prefecture and the Senkaku Islands (dispute), Ishigaki, Okinawa Prefecture, and encourage visits by conservative politicians to the Yasukuni Shrine. 2channel was where much of the netto-uyoku movement first took shape, and continues to be where a significant portion of their online activism takes place.
