Abstract After the World War II, the genealogy of Japanese rightwing forces experienced an evolution from the “Postwar Rightwing” to the “New Rightwing”. The backbone members of the “Postwar Rightwing” lineage consist of four types of militarist remnants intentionally retained by the U.S. Occupation Authority. Its representative groups are four types of rightwing organizations such as Daitojuku. Their core idea is “Mikado Centralism” and “proAmerica and antiCommunist consciousness”. Their political activities are mainly centered on maintaining imperial unity, antiCommunist, antiChina and participating in elections. The main force of the “New Rightwing” pedigree is the rightwing youth, the new generation rightwing politicians and the rightwing intellectual elites. Its leading groups are four types of rightwing organizations, such as the Society for the Study of Liberal Historical Views. Their core idea is “antisystem” and “antiAmerica”. Their political activities are mainly focused on two aspects: creating terrorist incidents and antiChina incidents. To define the concept of “postwar Japanese rightwing forces” accurately, to analyze the social basis for the resurgence of Japanese rightwing forces, to reveal the real reasons for the resurgence of Japanese rightwing forces, to respond to the study of “split China theory” and the fallacy in understanding the nature of war carrying out by the Japanese rightwing intellectual elites, are important issues that should be paid special attention to in the study of Japanese rightwing forces.
