Japanese Communist Party Fighter Kantaro Ogura Destroyed Japan’s Aviation Industry—The Red Trap of Communism Portrayed by Masayuki Takayama
This article quotes Masayuki Takayama’s serialized column published in the September 2023 issue of the monthly magazine Themis and exposes the reality of the operations that communism set in motion within Japanese society. It describes how Japanese Communist Party fighter Kantaro Ogura infiltrated Japan Airlines after the Mitsukoshi labor dispute, incited its labor union, and destroyed the dream of rebuilding Japan’s aviation industry. It reveals the deception of communism, which used women as instruments for expanding the party’s power, and the truth behind its fictionalization in The Unsetting Sun. This is an essential essay in which the writing of Masayuki Takayama—the one and only journalist who casts light upon the truth—displays its full brilliance.

September 30, 2023
The following is from the subscription-only monthly magazine Themis, which arrived at my home yesterday.
As I have previously written, I subscribe to this magazine solely to read Masayuki Takayama’s serialized column.
This essay also proves that he is the one and only journalist in the postwar world.

A long time ago, an elderly female professor from the Princess Grace Academy of Classical Dance in Monaco, who commands tremendous respect from prima ballerinas throughout the world, visited Japan.
At that time, she spoke the following words about the purpose of an artist’s existence.
“Artists are important because they are the only people capable of casting light upon concealed, hidden truths and expressing them.”
Surely no one would object to her words.
It is no exaggeration whatsoever to say that Masayuki Takayama is not only the one and only journalist in the postwar world, but also the one and only artist in the postwar world.
Oe, on the other hand…although I do not wish to speak ill of the dead, many people called writers, such as Murakami and others, and many people who imagine themselves to be artists are not even worthy of the name of artist—to borrow the manner of expression used by Masayuki Takayama below.
The reason is that, far from casting light upon concealed, hidden truths and expressing them, they are merely people who have expressed the lies created by the Asahi Shimbun and others.
The same must be true of such people not only in Japan but also in countries throughout the world.
In other words, true artists exist only in extremely small numbers.
This essay also brilliantly proves the correctness of my statement that, in the world today, there is no one more deserving of the Nobel Prize in Literature than Masayuki Takayama.
Essential reading not only for the Japanese people but for people throughout the world.

Japanese Communist Party Fighter Kantaro Ogura Destroyed Japan’s Aviation Industry
In The Unsetting Sun, He Is Glorified as a Union Committee Chairman Who Resisted a Japan Airlines That Disregarded Safety
Women Used as Instruments for Expanding the Party’s Power
Class struggle is the driving force of the Communist Party.
Classes exist in every country.
If they do not exist, they are created; once created, they are subjected to discrimination, and those above seek to exploit those below.
Class struggle can be initiated at any time.
However, because class divisions in Japan have been indistinct since ancient times, Japan was ill-suited to the Communist Party.
Because that would be inconvenient, it trots out illegal immigrants, LGBT people, and others who make one wonder why such powerful people are being presented as though they were the weak, and consequently it does not even become a class struggle.
That is why the Japanese Communist Party has done nothing but decline for one hundred years.
The Communist Party has one other pillar alongside class struggle.
Women.
It uses women as instruments for expanding the party’s power.
In the communist world, no one else is permitted to possess women indiscriminately as private property.
During the period when I should have been turning red, I was swimming in the swimming club.
Even so, whenever I occasionally went to the university cooperative, members of the Democratic Youth League would approach me.
They would say there were attractive women.
They used women as bait.
The Revolutionary Marxist faction was the same.
When one accepted the invitation and followed them, it was perhaps Building No. 1 at Waseda University; a permanent bed had been laid out in a room, where a female student was waiting.
Even the United Red Army kept many women at its hideouts for the comfort of its fighters.
That was the role of women in their game of revolution, but for some reason the United Red Army demanded a revolutionary spirit from the women, subjected them to “self-criticism,” and killed them all.
Abimael Guzmán’s Maoist Shining Path faithfully followed everything Mao had done, including, for example, the policy of killing one person in every village.
They attacked a village, dragged out its headman, and brutally killed him in front of the villagers.
They bound the villagers through fear and forced them to pay revolutionary taxes.
They abducted women as well.
The women were taken to Yan’an and compelled to comfort the fighters and perform domestic labor.
The Shining Path was the same.
It also attacked a JICA office on the outskirts of Lima and killed three Japanese people while the staff watched.
They collected revolutionary taxes and abducted women as well.
Nearly one thousand women obeyed the party duty of comforting its fighters and giving birth to the next generation of revolutionary fighters.
While the killing of one person in every Peruvian village continued, Guzmán was enjoying a life of wine, women, and song surrounded by women at a hideout in Lima when Fujimori’s forces burst in.
Fujimori placed Guzmán in an iron-barred cage and paraded him through Lima.
There has never been an example that displayed the true nature of communism so brilliantly.
The Japanese Communist Party was the same.
Kenji Miyamoto, who controlled it, was a genuine murderer.
Under the pretext of interrogating his comrade Tatsuo Obata, he stripped him naked, bound him with wire, and assaulted him.
He pierced his penis with an awl and then poured sulfuric acid over him, causing him to die from shock.
Women were also used in various ways.
Party-member gigolos were used for that purpose as well.
One such gigolo was a University of Tokyo student named Kantaro Ogura.
Recognized for his abilities in the Komaba student association, Kantaro infiltrated Mitsukoshi as an operative.
The female employees were seduced by the handsome young man in a student uniform and plunged into the Mitsukoshi labor dispute.

Even the Hope-Filled Young Employees Were Corrupted
Mitsukoshi was cast as belonging to the wealthy luxury-goods class, and its poorly paid female employees were made to conduct a class struggle.
A recent “Tensei Jingo” column discussed the latest strike at Seibu Department Store by saying that “the labor union set up picket lines against the department store management, which wanted to conduct its year-end sales campaign,” concealing the fact that the Mitsukoshi dispute had been a Japanese Communist Party operation.
Was this ignorance, or the foolish joking of a journalist who was a secret party member?
It was a dreadful article.
The Mitsukoshi dispute caused a great public commotion merely by manipulating women, without requiring any capital.
For Yoyogi, it produced results beyond expectations.
The gigolo Kantaro was consequently entrusted with a larger operation and infiltrated Japan Airlines.
Shizuma Matsuo, who served as director-general of the Civil Aviation Safety Agency under GHQ, succeeded in establishing Japan Airlines as an airline exclusively for Japanese people, without allowing American capital or personnel to intrude.
Matsuo had a dream.
His dream was to revive Japan, once a great aviation nation, when its skies were returned to it.
For that purpose, he employed prewar pilots, aeronautical engineers, and others at the agency.
In addition to destroying the aviation industry, GHQ eliminated things connected to Japanese culture and tradition.
The five regent houses were among them.
When Matsuo created Japan Airlines, he gave them places to work as well.
Once the yoke of GHQ was removed, Matsuo began rebuilding the aviation industry around Japan Airlines.
The Transport Aircraft Research Association was established, and before long the YS-11 flew through the skies of Japan.
It was during that period that Kantaro joined the company as a University of Tokyo graduate and management-track employee.
His mission was singular: to seduce the cabin-crew union—the stewardesses—just as he had seduced the female employees of Mitsukoshi, make them strike, and destroy Japan Airlines.
For that purpose, he became chairman of the Japan Airlines labor union.
A position in “labor relations” was part of the career course that executive-track employees would occupy at least once, and therefore Matsuo suspected nothing.
Kantaro displayed his true abilities.
He seduced the stewardesses and made them chirp their grievances, while at the same time corrupting the young pilots who had entered the company filled with hope.
The company is making a profit.
Demand more money.
Japan Airlines thus went on strike more frequently than Japanese National Railways, its earnings were cut in half, and a dark shadow fell heavily across Matsuo’s dream.
Kantaro did not relent.
When Matsuo’s granddaughter lay dying of leukemia, Kantaro regarded it as an opportunity and demanded all-night collective bargaining.
When it ended, news of her death arrived.
Matsuo was unable to be present at his granddaughter’s deathbed.
The cabin-crew union learned of this.
They all wept and departed from beneath the contemptible Kantaro.

A Red Female Writer Ignored the Facts
The operative became ensnared in his own scheme and fell.
Kantaro volunteered for an assignment in Tehran.
If he remained in Japan, an operative who had bungled his mission was destined to be eliminated.
Given Kenji Miyamoto’s tastes, he might have been wrapped in wire like a bamboo mat.
But at whose suggestion was it?
A red female writer transformed him into “a union committee chairman who resisted a Japan Airlines that disregarded safety” and began writing The Unsetting Sun.
Even its author was reportedly informed of the incident in which Shizuma Matsuo had been unable to be at his granddaughter’s deathbed and considered abandoning the book.
However, Japan Airlines, once driven mad by Kantaro, subsequently suffered accident after accident, eventually went bankrupt, and exposed the disgraceful spectacle of desperately struggling merely to rebuild itself.
The rebuilding of the aviation industry ended as nothing more than a distant dream.
Perhaps because it had lost its backing, the Mitsubishi MRJ, which was supposed to play a part in that rebuilding, was also destroyed by the United States.
Even after Kantaro had fallen, he had still accomplished his original objective.
