On April 15, 2023, Fumio Kishida, the 101st Prime Minister of Japan, came to the fishing port of Saikazaki, Wakayama, Wakayama Prefecture, in the Kansai region to give a campaign stump speech for the 2023 Japan by-elections.

Just before Fumio Kishida was about to give a stump speech, someone threw a pipe bomb. The man who threw the object was captured by local fisherman. Fumio Kishida was not injured because he evacuated at the moment the pipe bomb was thrown. Fifty seconds after the projectile was thrown, the pipe bomb exploded, injuring two people.

The suspect, 24-year-old Ryuji Kimura（木村隆二）, was dissatisfied with the Judiciary system over suffrage and demand deposit and asked lawyer such as Kenji Utsunomiya to represent him.

This incident occurred a little more than nine months after the assassination of Shinzo Abe.
