Close up shot of a protester at the Trump / Takaichi protest in Tokyo - 1 out of 20 clips from this event.

This footage captures an anti-Trump and anti-Takaichi protest in Tokyo, Japan, in October 2025, coinciding with the arrival of U.S. President Donald Trump for official talks. Demonstrators gathered in central Tokyo to voice opposition to both Trump’s visit and the policies of newly elected Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who has signaled a more assertive defense and security stance.

Protesters carry banners and placards, chanting slogans in opposition to the government’s proposed defense spending increase, constitutional reforms, and closer alignment with U.S. military initiatives. The demonstration reflects growing civil engagement and concern over political shifts following Takaichi’s rise to power as Japan’s first female Prime Minister in recent history.

The video shows wide shots of the crowd marching through the streets, close-ups of protesters holding signs, and the energy of the demonstration, highlighting public sentiment during a high-profile diplomatic visit. Footage is ideal for news outlets, political coverage, and documentary projects seeking real-time, on-the-ground reporting of current events in Tokyo.
