Ultranationalist Politician and Army General. After serving in the Russo-Japanese War, he completed the Army College and subsequently became a military attache in St. Petersburg. In 1930, he created a fascist organization, the "Kodogikai," and with the help of young officers launched a plot to become prime minister. Although unsuccessful this regard, he was named Minister of the Armed Forces. He was forced to retire after the failure of the February 26, 1936 "Niniroku Jiken" military coup d'etat, but later became Minister of Education in Fuminaro Konoe's cabinet. In this capacity, he was a staunch supporter of military education at all levels. Declared a war criminal in 1945, he was sentenced to life in prison, but was pardoned and freed in 1955.
