Kishi Nobusuke (13 November 1896 – 7 August 1987) was a Japanese war criminal and politician. He was the commerce and industry in Occupied Manchuria and oversaw the enslavement of hundreds of thousands of Koreans and Chinese people in mines and factories. He and Tojo Hideki signed a declaration of war against the USA in 1941. The USA later rehabilitated him and installed him as the leader of postwar Japan. He was the maternal grandfather of later Prime Minister Abe Shinzo.[1]
