Tojima First

Tojima First (TFP, Japanese: 東島ファーストの会, Hepburn: Tōjima Fāsuto no Kai) is a localist political party in Enderron. It operates only in Tojima Prefecture, with an agenda of protection of Tojiman interests, culture and autonomy. It is electorally popular among Japanese Enderronians living in Tojima, and its vote is concentrated in the eastern parts of the prefecture, particularly in the suburbs of Shirakawa, and Harvey Island. Tojima First currently holds the office of Governor of Tojima (since 2014 with Dawn Yamamoto as governor), and the party, currently led by Esther Hashimoto, is the third-largest party in the Tojima Prefectural Assembly, holding 11 of the 64 seats. Tojima First is the most electorally successful localist party in Enderronian history.

Tojima First was founded in 1998 as the Tojima Citizens Association. Until the mid-2000s it was considered a right-wing party with a heavy localist, pro-Japanese and pro-independence ideology. In 2006 the right-wing faction, led by one-time party leader Kane Aki, split from the party and formed the Tojiman Independence Party. The remaining factions reformed Tojima First, shedding its conservative past for a more centrist and liberal political outlook, and abandoning separatism and other hardline elements from its platform.
