Ishikawa Shingo was one of the strongly pro-Axis staff officers of the Japanese
Navy in the late 1930s. Nicknamed "Wild Shot", he had violated Navy
regulations by publishing a book under a pseudonym in 1931, Japan's Crisis, that claimed the United States was conspiring to control the Far East and that the naval disarmament treaties were part of the conspiracy. He held a variety of sensitive positions, including in warship design and in intelligence,
from which he was able to exercise an unusual degree of influence on
naval policy, turning many young officers in the traditionally pro-British Japanese Navy into German sympathizers. Among his assignments was as a member of the "First
Committee", an ad hoc Navy policy-making organization dominated by middle-echelon hawks.
Ishikawa commanded 23 Air Flotilla for part of 1943, but otherwise served in staff positions throughout the war.
