Anti-American conservative (Japanese: 反米保守, Hepburn: han-Bei hoshu)[1] is a political term used in Japan that refers to a case in which conservatives in the country display anti-American views diplomatically or culturally.
Today, most establishment conservatives maintain diplomatic pro-Americanism. Anti-American conservatives are mentioned individually in Japan because conservatives have fewer anti-American views than the political left; Japan's ruling right-wing conservative Liberal Democratic Party is highly pro-American.[2]

Following the election of Hatoyama as Prime Minister, the two parties merged in 1955 to become the Jiyuminshu To (Liberal Democratic Party or LDP), the highly conservative pro-American party which has almost single-handedly ruled Japan up to the present day.
