Hiroyuki Jo (徐 裕行, Jo Hiroyuki) is a Zainichi Korean member of Shinshushieikan (神洲士衛館), an uyoku organization, and the Mie Prefecture-based Hane-gumi branch of Yamaguchi-gumi, a yakuza organization. Jo assassinated Hideo Murai, a member of Aum Shinrikyo, on April 23, 1995.[1][2]

Kenji Kamimine, a former leader of Hane-gumi, was dismissed by the Tokyo High Court the charge that he ordered Jo to kill Murai.[3]
