The claim
夫婦別姓にしたい日本人は1％?
Original review summary
The review says the claim that only 1% of Japanese people want separate surnames is inconsistent with multiple 2025 surveys, though results varied by question wording. At a debate involving leaders and other officials from nine parties, one participant clearly opposed the system; the review says this part of the post was nearly accurate, with the caveat that not all participants were party leaders.[S1]
Additional context
The cited 2025 survey results included 46.8% saying couples should be able to choose whether to share a surname in a February survey, and 9.5% saying they would choose separate surnames if the system were introduced. A May television poll instead asked about policy options and found 24% supported introducing the system. [S1]
