Teruki Gotō (後藤 輝樹, Gotō Teruki) is a Japanese musician and perennial candidate known for his naked election posters. He holds a number of nationalist views and has run as a candidate for Mayor of Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo (2013),[1] City Assembly of Chiyoda (2015),[2][3] Governor of Tokyo (2016),[4] and Governor of Tokyo (2020).
According to his website, he wishes to make Japan the "strongest, kindest, and most interesting country in the world."[3]
In 2016, his television speech became a meme on the Internet when he ran for governor of Tokyo. He continued to speak prohibited words, and as a result 10% of his speech was censored by NHK without his permission.[5]
