Inejiro Asanuma (????? Asanuma Inejir?, December 27, 1898 - October 12, 1960) was a Japanese politician, and head of the Japanese Socialist Party. He is chiefly famous for the manner of his death: he was assassinated in 1960 by 17-year old Otoya Yamaguchi, a sword-wielding right-wing extremist, at a televised rally. Although the stabbing was not shown live by NHK network, the videotape of the killing caused a sensation when it was broadcast.
