Naoki Hyakuta (百田 尚樹, Hyakuta Naoki, born February 23, 1956) is a Japanese former novelist, television producer, and politician. He is the co-founder and leader of the Conservative Party of Japan.[1] Hyakuta is particularly known for his 2006 novel The Eternal Zero, which was adapted into an eponymous 2013 film.[2] Other books of his, several of which have also been adapted into films, include Bokkusu[3] and Monsuta.[4] From 2013 to 2015, he served as a governor of the public broadcaster NHK.
Hyakuta is known for his right-wing political views, including his denial of Japanese war crimes before and during World War II,[5] particularly the Nanjing Massacre.[6]
