Joyu Fumihiro was the group's spokesman in 1995, a fluent and photogenic man who became briefly famous defending it on television, and who served three years for perjury. He took the remnant over on release and pushed hard for a version of the group that did not centre on Asahara: the name change in February 2000, an apology, a compensation agreement. It did not hold, and by 2007 the majority had gone back to Asahara-centred practice. Joyu left with a few hundred people and founded Hikari no Wa, which presents itself as a philosophy circle rather than a religion and is also subject to reporting requirements. Aleph is the faction that stayed.
