Kyowakai - Kyowakai

Japanese: 協和会 - きょうわかい

Founded in 1932 as the only political organization in Manchukuo (northeastern China). Under the slogans "Five Races Republic" and "A Land of Royal Pride," the organization appointed senior officials from the Manchukuo government and the Kwantung Army as president and directors, and worked to pacify and educate the people. In 1936 it was reorganized as a national national movement organization to respond to the wartime regime, and from 1941 it operated in conjunction with the administrative apparatus of Manchukuo. Its organizational structure was used as a model for the popular organizations of other colonies and the Imperial Rule Assistance Association. It disappeared with the collapse of Manchukuo in 1945. During Japan's colonial rule of Korea, the Kyowakai was a control mechanism for Koreans living in Japan, centered around the Ministry of Home Affairs and police authorities, and was renamed the Koseikai in 1944.

満州国（中国東北）で唯一の政治団体として1932年結成。五族共和・王道楽土のスローガンのもとに，満州国政府や関東軍の幹部を総裁・理事とし，民衆の宣撫(せんぶ)教化にあたった。1936年改組して戦時体制に対応する挙国的国民運動組織となり，1941年以後は満州国行政機構と一体となって活動した。組織形態は他の植民地の民衆組織化や大政翼賛会の模範とされた。1945年満州国崩壊とともに消滅。なお日本の朝鮮植民地支配期，在日朝鮮人に対する内務省・警察当局を中心とした統制機構として協和会があり，1944年興生(こうせい)会と改称。
