Is Japan Racist Toward Japanese?[edit]

The article mentions that he was ostracized by the Japanese public, press, and government because of a racially aggravated misconception." is the Japanese government racist toward Japanese?71.223.67.114 (talk) 03:22, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speaks Russian, Skilled in Logistics[edit]

An important fact is not applied to story of Hosono. He could speak, and write the Russian Language. He is skilled in logistics for ocean and railway transit. Japan and Russia had been at war against each other less then a decade before. A major USA railway company wanted to upgrade the trans-siberian railroad without Japan's help. He traveled the entire length of Russia and would have witnessed the unrest developing in the country. That information would be needed by Japan's Government and Military at all costs. What's a little criticism against his manhood if he could give information on Japan's only economic competitor in Eastern Asia. Courtneyksf (talk) 07:00, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How did he survive?[edit]

The article doesn't say how he survived, but presumably he got on one of the boats? 70.114.127.98 (talk) 13:25, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
