The Shin Buddhist community in Brazil emerged in 1950, under the leadership of the first head of the South American Mission office, Kakusho Yomura (1892-1975). The mission's purpose was to unify the Buddhist temples and groups throughout Brazil that belonged to the Japanese-Brazilian community, which was divided by the dispute between supporters of Japan's 鈥渧ictory鈥� (kachigumi) and 鈥渄efeat鈥� (makegu-mi) in the Second World War. In 1954, the Shin Buddhist community in Brazil received a visit from the 23rd patriarch Kosho Otani, who authenticated the South American Mission, forming 33 ordained members and holding initiation ceremonies in various locations throughout the country. In 1955, the Shin Buddhist Community Honpa Hongwanji of Brazil was officially recognized as a religious institution.
