Mitani Takanobu (Japanese: 三谷隆信; 17 June 1892 – 13 January 1985) was a Japanese government official who served nearly fifty years in the Foreign Ministry and the Imperial Household Agency, During World War II he was Japan's ambassador to Vichy France, years during which the Japanese armed forces occupied French Indochina while leaving the colonial administration in place. After the war, he served seventeen years as Grand Chamberlain. Mitani was born in Kanagawa-ku, Yokohama City, Kyoto Prefecture. His father was a raw silk merchant, his mother was a daughter of a wealthy farmer. He graduated from Kyoto Prefectural Fourth Junior High School and First High School, After graduating in Law from Tokyo Imperial University in 1917, he joined the Home Ministry, then in 1920 transferred to the Foreign Ministry. Mitani served briefly in Paris and attended the Washington Naval Conference before returning to Tokyo for assignments in the Treaty department, and then with personnel. During the 1930s he was First Secretary in the Japanese Embassy in Paris, and thrice served as Chargé d'affaires ad interim between changes of Ambassador. He returned to Tokyo in 1938 to head the Cultural Affairs department. In 1940, he was posted as Minister to Switzerland. In April 1942, Mitani was named Ambassador to the Pétain government. When the German occupiers withdrew from France during the summer of 1944, he followed the Vichy leadership to Sigmaringen where he spent the next eight months. Amidst the Allied invasion of southern Germany in April 1945. he fled to Switzerland, where he stayed nine months. From Bern on VE Day, Mitani urged his government to sue for peace "on the most favorable terms possible." He saw little hope of success by going through Moscow, and advocated quick overtures to the U.S. and Britain before the Soviet Union decided to enter the Pacific War. Mitani returned to Japan in early 1946. Resigning from the Foreign Ministry, he was selected as Director of the Women's Department, then Vice Director, of Gakushuin, the 'Peers School' which educated members of the Japanese aristocracy. Crown Prince Akihito attended during those years. In June 1948 Mitsani was appointed Grand Chamberlain in the royal household. His early years were those of the American occupation, the Korean War and the Peace Treaty conference in San Francisco. He accompanied MacArthur on regional tours, and saw him off on behalf of the Emperor when he was recalled to the United States. Mitani served as Chief Aide to the Crown Prince when he visited the Europe and the U.S. in 1953. He retired in 1965 and was awarded the Order of the Sacred Treasure, First Class. Himself prominent in Japanese Christian circles, Mitani was a disciple of Uchimura Kanzō and younger brother of the Christian theologist Mitani Takamasa. His appointments to Gakushūin, then as Grand Chamberlain, have been seen as part of Hirohito's consideration in the immediate postwar years of a possible conversion of the royals to Christianity. His half-brother was Hasegawa Shin, author of "Mother of the Eyelids." A maternal grandson, Keiichiro Asao, is a member of the House of Councillors in the Diet. Mitani's Memoirs of the Grand Chamberlain was published (in Japanese) in 2024, the latest edition of a volume first printed in 1980.

Sanzō Nosaka (野坂 参三, Nosaka Sanzō; March 30, 1892 – November 14, 1993) was a Japanese writer, editor, labor organizer, communist agent, politician, and university professor and a founder of the Japanese Communist Party (JCP). He was the son of a wealthy Japanese merchant, and attended Keio University. While in university, Nosaka became interested in social movements, and joined a moderate labor organization after graduation, working as a research staff member, and as a writer and editor of the organization's magazine. He traveled to Britain in 1919 to study political economy, where he deepened his studies of Marxism and became a confirmed communist. Nosaka was a founding member of the Communist Party of Great Britain, but his activity within British communist circles led to him being deported from Britain in 1921. After leaving Britain, Nosaka traveled through the Soviet Union (USSR). He returned to Japan in 1922, where he co-founded the Japanese Communist Party (JCP). Nosaka became a labor organizer, but was arrested twice by the Japanese government for his activities. After being released from prison a second time, Nosaka secretly returned to the USSR in 1931, where he became an agent of the Comintern. He traveled to the West Coast of the United States, where he worked as a spy from 1934 to 1938. After leaving the United States, Nosaka worked in China from 1940 to 1945, supporting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) by encouraging and recruiting captured Japanese soldiers to support and fight for the Chinese communists against the Imperial Japanese Army, and coordinating a spy network that operated throughout Japanese-occupied China. After the end of the Second World War in 1945, Nosaka returned to Japan with hundreds of other Japanese communists, where he led the JCP during the occupation by the Allies. Nosaka attempted to brand the JCP as a "lovable" populist party supporting Japan's peaceful transition to socialism, but his strategy was criticized within the party and within the Soviet Union. During the Korean War the JCP temporarily endorsed violence, and Nosaka disappeared from public life and went underground. He re-emerged to lead the JCP again in 1955, after which he attempted to disrupt the US-Japan Security Treaty by organizing public demonstrations, but he generally supported the JCP's role as a peaceful party. In 1958 Nosaka became Chairman of the JCP, a position he held until retirement at the age of 90, after which he was declared Honorary Chairman. Nosaka joined the faculty of Keio University, and he was widely idolized among left-wing intellectuals until shortly before his death, when the fall of the Soviet Union exposed controversial aspects of his relationship with Joseph Stalin's Communist regime.

Ikuro Takahashi (高橋 郁郎, Takahashi Ikurō; 1892–1981) was a Japanese botanist, specializing in citrus, who was hailed as the "father of citrus" especially in his native Shizuoka Prefecture. After graduating from the prefectural nōgakko (ja) or "agricultural college," he enrolled in the apprenticeship/internship system established by the then-Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, and learned his skills at the local state-run agricultural experiment station under the Horticultural Department. After a stint in Kumamoto Prefecture, he returned to the old department which was being reorganized as the ministerial Horticultural Experiment Station, where he served as horticultural engineer (1921). Later he served his home prefecture, and was appointed the first head of the Shizuoka Prefectural Citrus Experiment Station, which was his own brainchild (1940). His chief work includes Kankitsu ("Citrus"), which went through some five revisions. He was the long-time chief writer and editor of Kajitsu Nippon, a journal of fruit agriculture. He published the scientific name Citrus sulcata hort. ex. Ik.Takah. (or I.Takah.) for a type of citrus known as sanbokan.
