Abstract: Abstract Kinnosuke Ogura (1885-1962) was an excellent Japanese mathematician, struggling for the modernization and democratization of his home country. However, during the Sino-Japanese War, Ogura was trapped in the mobilization of the Tennoist aggression against China. This paper provides some evidence, seeks for an explanation, and draws some tentative conclusions.
