Kiyoshi Katsuki Japanese general

Kiyoshi Katsuki was a general in the Imperial Japanese Army in the Second Sino-Japanese War.

14th Division (Imperial Japanese Army) infantry division in the Imperial Japanese Army

The 14th Division was an infantry division in the Imperial Japanese Army. Its tsūshōgō code name was the Shining Division, and its military symbol was 14D. The 14th Division was one of four new infantry divisions raised by the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) in the closing stages of the Russo-Japanese War, after it turned out that the entire IJA was committed to combat in Manchuria, leaving not a single division to guard the Japanese home islands from attack.

Kenji Doihara Japanese general

Kenji Doihara was a general in the Imperial Japanese Army in World War II. He was instrumental in the Japanese invasion of Manchuria for which he earned fame taking the nickname "Lawrence of Manchuria," a reference to Lawrence of Arabia. However, according to Jamie Bisher, the flattering sobriquet was rather misapplied, as that Colonel T.E. Lawrence had fought to liberate, not to oppress people. In a war fiction by Roger J. Spiller, Lieutenant-General Ishiwara Kanji, his military chief in Manchuria, said that his heavy addiction to opium contributed to his unreliability as an army officer.
