The party was founded from the merger of the former "Japan Socialist Party" led by Sakai Toshihiko and the "Nihon Heimin-tō" (日本平民党, which literally means "Common People's Party of Japan") led by Kōnirō Nishikawa , where it was agreed upon to name the new party as "Japan Socialist Party".[1][4]
Some Chinese Marxists, like Meijiu Jing , were also influenced by this party.[5]
