Abstract: Published in 文明21, Civilization 21 at Aichi University, Nagoya, Japan. http://ci.nii.ac.jp/nrid/9000406377681 While Pre-World War II government-mandated censorship was a familiar practice in Japanese press outlets, it can be argued that post World War II censorship by the American GHQ had a long-lasting affect on national consciousness. With a brief historical introduction starting with Perry’s ship landing, this short paper explores the role that American-produced English textbooks, cartoons, and dramas, played in molding Japan into a country aligned with United States ideals.
