Dear amazing Indy and crew,
I have a question that stuck in my head for a long time.
You have already told about the resistance movements in Yugoslavia,Greece,China,France,The Netherlands,The USSR even Germany and many more.
Do you know if there was any kind of resistance movement inside Japan itself during ww2.
For example hidding from conscription or protest against the war.
Or everybody was just following the orders of the regime and was loyal to the emperor.
Kind regards from Juan Rodriguez Forero

I don’t know if there were any “formal” resistance movements against the central government, but given the highly volatile relationship between the Imperial Japanese Army and the Imperial Japanese Navy and their ongoing struggle for mastery over the civil government, there may not have been much scope for non-IJA/IJN activity. After all, if the local naval commander might at any time be assassinated by agents of the army commander in the next district over (and vice-versa), how would you detect non-affiliated sabotage or direct action?
