Otoya Yamaguchi (ๅฑฑๅฃ ไบŒ็Ÿข, Yamaguchi Otoya, 22 February 1943 โ€“ 2 November 1960) was a Japanese right-wing ultranationalist youth who assassinated Inejirล Asanuma, on 12 October 1960. Yamaguchi rushed the stage and stabbed Asanuma with a wakizashi short sword while Asanuma was participating in a televised election debate at Hibiya Public Hall in Tokyo. Yamaguchi, who was 17 years of age at the time, had been a member of Bin Akao's far-right Greater Japan Patriotic Party, but had resigned earlier that year.[1] After being arrested and interrogated, Yamaguchi committed suicide while in a detention facility.

 

Yamaguchi became a hero and a martyr to the Japanese far-right, and commemorations in his honor continue to this day.[2]
