Tara Fujimoto (Japanese: 藤本たら Fujimoto Tara; May 23, 1930-April 16, 1982) was a North El Kadsreian politician and journalist who was the leader of the National Democratic Party of DR El Kadsre. He served as the president of North El Kadsre from 1961 to 1969 and governor of NVSEK from 1969 until his execution in 1982.

Bio
Tara was born in Miyadaka, the son of nationalist parents. He graduated from the University of Makohiro in 1952 with a degree in literature, where he was a writer for the university newspaper. In 1953, he was hired as a journalist for the Makohiro Daily, becoming well-known for his North El Kadsreian nationalist writings.

In 1957, he was imprisoned for criticizing Hiroshi Kayos in an article about the 1956 North Comoeys City massacre and the attempted assassination of. During his time in prison, in order to stop "El Kadsreian supremacy on North El Kadsre", Fujimoto went on a hunger strike, refusing to eat or drink nothing but water. His six-month long strike, from February 13 to July 26, 1957, became a world record, and made him a legendary figure among North El Kadsreians.

In 1958, the Soviets, led by general Andrei Artamonov, occupied North El Kadsre and declared the Socialist Republic of El Kadsre. However, Fujimoto was against all forms of occupation of North El Kadsre by foreign powers. Backed by his former enemy Hiroshi Kayos, Fujimoto and other North El Kadsreian nationalists overthrew the communist government and declared the Democratic Republic of El Kadsre in 1961.

Trivia
Mandela effect: Tara's name is commonly remembered in El Kadsre as Taro, not Tara.
