A REAL man?

Was there really a Japanese man named "Kinoaki Matsuo"? I never see a Japanese whose name is "Kinoaki". At least "Kinoaki" may be inaccurate. I hope to know what is the source of this article.--miya 06:36, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Kinoaki Matsuo" was written by user:200.46.61.94. Kenosuke Sato by User:200.46.61.179 may be also inaccurate. Is there any source? --miya 07:41, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page, from TIME is possibly a source that suggests that a writer named "Kinoaki Matsuo" existed and wrote about the War, but it doesn't prove much else. Cheers, Tangotango (talk) 13:42, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Amazon.com indeed has an information about a book "How Japan plans to win" by Kinoaki Matsuo as its Author, and User:N yotaro told me there was a book "三国同盟と日米戦" by 松尾樹明. Sorry for pothering.--miya 02:08, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Time Magazine article itself (written at the height of World War II) indicates that "Kinoaki Matsuo" is a possibily fictious name and that his work was an inflamatory propagada piece. More information/research is needed. --MChew 16:43, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My father had a copy of this book that was marked as belonging to a ship's onboard library. I found it about 50 years ago while digging through some of his old Navy belongings.

I was going to use it as a reference in a high school history term paper I did in 1962, but the teacher told me I had to stick to books in the HS Library.

In 1969-71 I was in the Marine Corps in SE Asia. While assigned to a ship for transport I found a copy of the same book in the ship's library and read several pages but didn't have time to check it out and really get into it.

From late 1971-1975 I was assigned to the Marine Barracks at the Brooklyn Navy Yard where once again I found a copy of that same book (These were all English translations BTW) in the Base Library. It hadn't been signed out since 1945.

Obviously the book was written , but it's possible the name was transcribed incorrectly by the copywriter. I know the name on the spine of the book I intended to use for the term paper was definitely Kinoaki Matsuo. On the front cover the title (I assumed it was the title) was embossed in red in Japanese characters and I remember for certain it started with "Three Star" and the Japanese title of the book was "A Three Star Alliance and a United States Japanese War."
