In the course of the U.S.-Japan negotiations, Yoshikawa, a 28-year-old young man on the Japanese negotiating team, was not a negotiator, nor was his task in negotiating. His real identity is a spy, and the purpose of this trip to the United States is to spy on the intelligence of the US military.
Yoshikawa graduated from the Nakano Spy School, a specialized training school for advanced spies that trained tens of thousands of spies for Japan during World War II. Yoshikawa is a well-behaved and talented graduate of the school.
After the Japanese negotiators arrived in the United States, Yoshikawa quietly left, and he flew to Hawaii to carry out a "special mission."
Why go to Hawaii? Quite simply, the U.S. Pacific Fleet was stationed in Hawaii, and the fleet's headquarters were in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
In Hawaii, Yoshikawa assumed the pseudonym Masamune Morimura and was publicly identified as an attaché at the Japanese Consulate in Horununu, Hawaii. He was well-dressed and gentlemanly. He often appears in bars and dances, quickly blending into the environment.
Honolulu, also known as Honolulu, is located on Oahu, the largest city on the Pacific Ocean. The island is the third largest of the Hawaiian archipelago and is the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of the U.S. state of Hawaii.
Yoshikawa could not have acted arbitrarily on american territory, so he was not called a spy. He needs to be disguised.
At the time, he chose an American female college student named Kathy as his target. He quickly charmed this beautiful girl with the elegance and humor characteristic of the Orientals and the noble style disguised. He pretended to pursue the girl, and soon captured her heart and gained her trust. He then drove in a car and took her around the island on a "trip" around. Everywhere he went, he had to take pictures of Kathy. Using this American girl as a cover, she photographed a large number of military materials such as Hawaii's terrain, transportation, planes, and warships.
The simple Casey always thought that this Japanese person was filming her, in fact, where did she know that this handsome "gentleman" around her was actually a dangerous spy.
At that time, there were many Japanese Americans on Oahu, and with Casey as a cover, although the U.S. military had sensed the threat from Japan, it did not pay attention to Yoshikawa's activities. Yoshikawa and Casey are like lovers wandering in the Hawaiian romantic sun.
What's even more outrageous is that Yoshikawa actually rented a tourist plane on the island in a cool gesture, taking Casey from the harbor to the sea, flying around the entire island of Oahu. During this time, he photographed pearl harbor, all the topography of Oahu, and The American warships moored in Pearl Harbor and nearby airfields.
These unusual actions of his were actually realized under the guise of a love affair.
It has to be said that Yoshikawa is a dedicated spy, a spy with superb camouflage skills. In order to find out whether there was an anti-submarine net at the entrance of Pearl Harbor, Yoshikawa even risked exposure and risked being shot by the US military, and even disguised himself as a local angler to break into the forbidden area and dive into the sea to visit. This dangerous move was discovered by the American sentry, who immediately opened fire on it, and Yoshikawa was lucky not to be shot, and rushed ashore in a panic and rushed into the woods to escape.
The information, pictures, and information collected by Yoshikawa played a key role in the Japanese military's designation to attack Pearl Harbor at that time. These photographs were soon collected by the Japanese Naval Command and became the basic material for the Japanese Naval Command to formulate the attack on Pearl Harbor. Based on this, the Japanese Naval Command formulated Plan Z for a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.
Yoshikawa's concealment efforts were very well done, and they were never discovered by the US military. When the U.S.-Japan War broke out, on December 7, 1941, Yoshikawa burned all the intelligence he had gathered in his office before the arrival of american troops. U.S. soldiers stormed the consulate and took him hostage along with ordinary expatriates. Later, when Japan and the United States exchanged diplomats, Yoshikawa was released and returned to China, where he was rewarded by the Japanese military.
