Hideaki Takizawa’s Vision for World Transformation and His Attraction to Radical Ideologies

The ‘Charisma’ Partnering with Takizawa.

This evokes the image of Nichiren training on Mount Hiei and later entering Mount Minobu in his later years. One might say that the soul of a mountain ascetic can be seen in Takizawa.

The young officers of the February 26 Incident were supported by the extraordinary thinker Kita Ikki. Kita was also a radical Nichirenist. ‘An Outline Plan for the Reorganization of Japan’ was a banned book that incited a coup. 

“Behind the phenomena of Showa history that interest me, there always stood a thin figure in a Chinese outfit like a bizarre peak—Kita Ikki” (Yukio Mishima).

He has an ambiguous, dangerous, and mysterious charisma.

Now, who is the Kita Ikki for the young officer Takizawa? To put it plainly, it is none other than Takushi Okuno, the leader of the Gobo Party! He is an entrepreneur, political activist, and has even stepped into the ring as a fighter.

Okuno confessed on the official X (formerly Twitter) of the Gobo Party, “I have an old friend named Hideaki Takizawa. We have been friends for about 15 years.” He further stated, “The volcanic adventures, which are almost a synonym for Takky, were actually adventures we started together.”

Okuno, who faced dangers in the mountains with Takizawa, praises him as a younger but senior. Just like Kita Ikki praised the young officers.

It was Chigaku Tanaka of the Kokuchukai who guided Ishihara Kanji to Nichirenism. Inoue Nichisho, who was also devoted to Tanaka, organized a “one person, one kill” blood league and carried out terrorism by youths. Additionally, among the Kokuchukai members was Kenji Miyazawa, who wrote “Namu Myoho Renge Kyo” in the final line of his poem “Ame ni mo Makezu” (Unbeaten by Rain).

Hideaki Takizawa’s unusual passion, strong stoicism, and courageous action in adventure are connected to them. It sounds as if “You, go for it!” from jainism and “Namu Myoho Renge Kyo” from Nichirenism are echoing in his mind.

The Descendants of Nichiren’s Vision for World Reform. Nichiren, who aimed for world reform in his work Risshō Ankoku Ron, has inspired his successors: the young officers of the February 26 Incident and the Manchurian Incident, Kita Ikki, Tanaka Chigaku of the Kokuchukai, the young terrorists of the Blood Alliance Incident, Miyazawa Kenji of Night on the Galactic Railroad, and Ikeda Daisaku of Human Revolution, leading to the present-day Tackey of TOBE.

“I have decided to once again walk the path of entertainment. (Omitted) Dreams are not something you simply see. Dreams are something you make come true. (Omitted) Let’s build this new era together” (Tackey’s declaration upon the establishment of TOBE).

Now, Tackey is set to realize Nichiren’s dream of world reform in the realm of idols!
