Vision of Reform(改革結集の会 Kaikaku Kesshū no Kai?, "Reform Assembly") was a Japanese political party formed in November 2015 by former environment minister Sakihito Ozawa following the split in the Japan Innovation Party. The party dissolved in March 2016, with 4 of the 5 members joining the Democratic Party.
The Japan Innovation Party suffered a major split between August and October 2015, resulting in one of the party's founders, Tōru Hashimoto, to lead Osaka-based members in forming the Initiatives from Osaka party. Following the split, several of the remaining members of the Innovation Party expressed their intention to also leave the party due to dissatisfaction with Yorihisa Matsuno's leadership. Four of the members, Sakihito Ozawa, Shinji Oguma, Kazuhito Shigetoku and Toshihide Muraoka submitted their resignation from the party on 22 October 2015. Together with Taro Yamada, the President of The Assembly to Energize Japan, the group submitted an application to register a new party named the Sōmō no Kai (草莽の会?, lit. commoners' party) on 18 November 2015. Yamada eventually chose not to leave the Assembly to Energize Japan. However, on 14 December Yoshihiro Suzuki, who had been sitting as an independent following his resignation from the Innovation Party, agreed to join the group. Having met the required 5-member minimum for registration as a party, the Vision of Reform was registered on 21 December 2015.
