Research Abstract	This research tried to clarify the political movement of young people outside the parliament ("INGAI-SEINEN" movement) from Russo-Japanese War to Taisho era. In particular, paying attention to their own political culture of young people, such as intentionality to the bipartisan and generational solidarity. Specifically, I was classified as (1)"basic research" and (2)"development research". In (1), I conducted a survey of (1)historical material about the core activists and (2) their adult age (Rep. period). In (2), I conducted a basic survey of (1)regional and (2)foreign (including colonial) political movement of young people. By further research, I can now grasp seamlessly their activities from youth to adult, and obtain a lot of material that lead to deeper perspective, such as regional and imperial.
