The Dōshi Club (Japanese: 同志クラブ, lit. Fellow Thinkers Club) was a political party in Japan.
History
The party was established by Kijūrō Shidehara on 28 November 1947 as a breakaway from the Democratic Party.[2] Its 22 MPs were opposed to the government's coal nationalisation law being pushed by Tetsu Katayama's government, which the DP was willing to make concessions over.[2]
In March 1948 it merged with the Liberal Party and another faction from the Democratic Party to form the Democratic Liberal Party.
