The Party to Protect the People from NHK (Template:Lang-ja, NHK kara Kokumin o Mamoru Tō),[2] also known as N-Koku (N国)[3] is a Japanese political party founded on June 17, 2013 by activist Takashi Tachibana, a former employee of Japan's national broadcasting organization NHK and a member of the Funabashi city assembly in Chiba Prefecture. He resigned NHK's accounting position in 2005 after exposing internal corruption. Before long continuing of intimidating behavior by NHK television license bill collectors,[4][5] the party issues special stickers to chase off broadcast-reception bill collectors from citizens' properties. The party's slogan is "NHK o Bukkowasu!" (Template:Lang-ja, lit. "Destroy the NHK!").[3]
