Abstract
The aim of this paper is to reveal how the individual will (volition) to defend oneself or another in cases of self-defense matter in Japanese criminal theory, and whether and how it is applied in actual cases in court. While in criminal theory the majority of scholars favors requiring the subjective element of volitive defending oneself or another, research shows that in practice questions of proportionality and necessity of defense prevail and lead to reasonable results. The discussion on subjective elements only causes additional evidence proof and is not decisive.
