According to one embodiment, an display processing apparatus includes an operation receiver, a relation calculator, a grouping module, a display information generator, and a display controller. The operation receiver receives operation to select key content. The relation calculator calculates the relation of second contents to the key content. The grouping module performs grouping of the second contents into a plurality of groups based on items related to the calculation of the relation and calculates the relation of the groups to the key content. The display information generator generates first display information of the key content and second display information of the second contents. The display controller displays list information in which pieces of the second display information of the second contents divided into the groups are arranged around the first display information such that a group with higher group relation is closer to the first display information.
