lobbyist

Japanese: lobbyist
lobbyist

...Lobby is the general term for the space for this purpose, and it requires an ambiguity that is rare in Western European spaces. Also, the waiting room in parliament where members of parliament meet with outsiders is called a lobby, and the petition groups and pressure groups that enter and leave this lobby to lobby members of parliament are called lobbies or lobbyists (lobbying). [Hiroyuki Suzuki]...

From [Lobbying]

...More recently, pressure groups have been increasingly active in public opinion activities, seeking public understanding and mobilizing public support. This type of pressure group activity is considered indirect lobbying, as opposed to direct lobbying of the legislature and executive branch, and is also called "grass-roots lobbying" because of its mass-oriented nature. The person who carries out this type of lobbying activity is none other than the "lobbyist." In the modern age of pressure groups, this type of lobbying is a phenomenon commonly seen in advanced democracies, but its actual situation differs considerably from country to country.
