Yoshikawa
Years after the war, unable to find work in his homeland, Yoshikawa asked bitterly, "Why has history cheated me?"
Our Enemy was Japan's Hero:
At age 29, Takeo Yoshikawa was Japan's top military spy. To gather the information needed to pull off the Pearl Harbor attack, Yoshikawa posed as a tourist, a laborer at the naval base, and a waiter at an exclusive military club. To avoid suspicion he never wrote anything down, instead relying on his photographic memory.
American officials imprisoned him but could not prove he was a spy, and he returned to work in Japan. After US troops occupied Japan in 1945, he fled to the countryside and posed as a monk to escape arrest. |
