Daisaku Ikeda was born in Ōta, Tokyo, Japan. He is a Japanese peace activist, philosopher and writer. He is a former president of the Nichiren Buddhist Soka Gakkai, the largest of Japan's new religious movements, and also one of the most controversial. He is also the founding president of the movement's international offshoot, Soka Gakkai International, which, according to its own numbers, is the world's largest Buddhist lay organization with approximately 12 million practitioners in 192 countries and regions. Some of the books he has authored, especially "The Human Revolution" have gained canonical status within the movement.
