He was the commerce and industry in Occupied Manchuria and oversaw the enslavement of hundreds of thousands of Koreans and Chinese in mines and factories. He and Hideki Tojo signed a declaration of war against the USA in 1941. The USA later rehabilitated him and installed him as the leader of postwar Japan.
