There's a Samurai and a Joker. The joker says he wants to legalize cannabis and rename the Shibuya district to "drug-addict" district.
As far as I understand, Japanese people are fairly politically apathetic and abstention is very high.

Edit: governor, not mayor.

As best I can tell, the samurai guy shares a name with one of the legendary 47 ronin and often leads a procession about it. It's hard to find actual policy positions.

https://onodera.akogishi.com/rinen/ appears to be the party platform which is ... odd. The filial piety/loyalty thing is a big yikes for me in most interpretations, but maybe it's more innocent than I'm reading into it (it is pretty vague in at least the couple minutes I had to poke around).
