This essay explores why Bill Gates repeatedly visited Toshiba, focusing on his recognition of Toshiba’s advanced small modular reactor technology.
It connects this to the suppression of TRON, the Fukushima disaster’s true causes, and the overlooked contributions of Japan’s elite engineers, revealing how individual actors reshaped Japan’s postwar fate.

Why Bill Gates Visited Toshiba Repeatedly — Small Modular Reactors and an Inescapable Sense of Guilt
2017-02-11

The following is an essay I sent out to the world on September 19, 2016, titled “I Surmised That Bill Gates Had Been Visiting Toshiba While Feeling a Deep Sense of Guilt.”
What kind of company is Toshiba?
The media, led by the Asahi Shimbun, reported on Toshiba as if it were the worst possible company.
It is the media themselves who should, by now, recognize that they are the worst.
Bill Gates visited Toshiba many times.
That was because he knew the excellence of the small modular reactor developed by Toshiba.
Masayuki Takayama, the one and only journalist of the postwar world, explained that Fukushima Daiichi was the very first nuclear power plant to adopt a GE-designed reactor.
He also detailed the astonishing background of GE’s responsible personnel, the numerous flaws in the design, and the fact that Japanese companies—Toshiba, Hitachi, and others, representing the world’s finest groups of engineers—had perfectly corrected and managed all of those defects in actual operation.
GE later realized that there was a fatal flaw in the placement of emergency power supply systems, which are critically important for nuclear reactors.
GE notified all countries operating GE-designed reactors around the world.
Only Japan’s Koizumi administration ignored this warning and failed to implement improvements.
That failure is what turned Fukushima into “Fukushima.”
I surmised that Bill Gates must have been visiting Toshiba while feeling a heavy burden of conscience.
In his desire to conquer the world with Windows—and for that reason alone—he crushed TRON, invented by Ken Sakamura, one of the geniuses produced by postwar Japan.
The Japanese government, having recognized the superiority of TRON, had decided to install computers powered by TRON as their core in elementary and junior high schools nationwide for educational purposes.
Gates understood that unless this decision was overturned by any means necessary, he could not dominate the world with Windows.
Masayoshi Son served as his advance agent in Japan.
Naturally, Japan was not going to say yes easily.
In the end, Gates used the U.S. government to crush TRON.
The details of this process have already been described.
Even more than that sense of guilt, however, it was the excellence of Toshiba’s small modular reactor that compelled him to visit Toshiba again and again.
Most Japanese citizens and the majority of people around the world are completely unaware of this.
They also do not know that Toshiba employs hundreds of thousands of workers on a consolidated basis, and that when affiliated companies are included, the number of people employed reaches into the millions.
The same is true of Hitachi and eight other Japanese electronics manufacturers that Japan proudly presents to the world.
I was the first person to appear on the scene stating that everything begins with just one individual.
Bill Gates and Masayoshi Son, indeed, drove tens of millions of Japanese citizens into hardship, each through the actions of a single individual.
To be continued.
