Maki Kusumoto (Japanese: 楠本まき, Hepburn: Kusumoto Maki; July 15, 1967, in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan) is a Japanese manga artist. Kusumoto's works are known for being psychological dramas focusing on death and romance between androgynous characters. Her minimalist aesthetics, darker themes, and preference for abstraction are all a big draw to her manga. She portrays willowy and long-limbed characters with unclear gender characteristics, who struggle with their inner demons in the harsh reality of everyday life.

Tetsu Katayama (片山 哲, Katayama Tetsu; 28 July 1887 – 30 May 1978) was a Japanese lawyer and politician who served as prime minister of Japan from 1947 to 1948. He was the first socialist to serve as Japanese prime minister, and the last non-member of the Liberal Democratic Party or its forerunners to serve until 1993. A devout Protestant Christian, he was a leading figure in Japanese Christian socialism. Born in Wakayama Prefecture, Katayama graduated in law from Tokyo Imperial University in 1912. He was strongly influenced by the Christian socialism of Abe Isoo, and in the 1920s served as a legal adviser to labour organisations and socialist political parties. He helped form the Social Democratic Party in 1926 and was elected to the Diet for the first time in 1930. In 1932 his party merged into the Socialist Masses Party, from which he was expelled in 1940. After the Pacific War he became the first secretary-general of the Japan Socialist Party and later its first chairman. After the 1947 election, in which the Socialists emerged as the largest party, Katayama became prime minister at the head of a coalition cabinet with the Democratic Party and the National Cooperative Party. With the backing of occupation authorities he implemented a wide range of progressive social reforms, including the establishment of a Labour Ministry, but lacked the political strength for more radical measures and was forced to resign in 1948 after only eight months in office. He lost his Diet seat in 1949, though he remained a leading figure on the party’s right wing throughout the 1950s. From 1960 he supported the newly formed Democratic Socialist Party. He also played a prominent role in promoting Japan–China cultural exchange and the World Federalist Movement.

Morihei Ueshiba (植芝 盛平, Ueshiba Morihei; December 14, 1883 – April 26, 1969) was a Japanese martial artist and founder of the martial art of aikido. He is often referred to as "the founder" Kaiso (開祖) or Ōsensei (大先生/翁先生), "Great Teacher". The son of a landowner from Tanabe, Ueshiba studied a number of martial arts in his youth, and served in the Japanese Army during the Russo-Japanese War. After being discharged in 1907, he moved to Hokkaido as the head of a pioneer settlement; here he met and studied with Takeda Sōkaku, the headmaster of Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu. On leaving Hokkaido in 1919, Ueshiba joined the Ōmoto-kyō movement, a Shinto sect, in Ayabe, where he served as a martial arts instructor and opened his first dojo. He accompanied the head of the Ōmoto-kyō group, Onisaburo Deguchi, on an expedition to Mongolia in 1924, where they were captured by Chinese troops and returned to Japan. The following year, he had a profound spiritual experience, stating that, "a golden spirit sprang up from the ground, veiled my body, and changed my body into a golden one." After this experience, his martial arts technique became gentler, with a greater emphasis on the control of ki. Ueshiba moved to Tokyo in 1926, where he set up what would become the Aikikai Hombu Dojo. By this point he was comparatively famous in martial arts circles, and taught at this dojo and others around Japan, including in several military academies. In the aftermath of World War II the Hombu dojo was temporarily closed, but Ueshiba had by this point left Tokyo and retired to Iwama, and he continued training at the dojo he had set up there. From the end of the war until the 1960s, he worked to promote aikido throughout Japan and abroad. He died from liver cancer in 1969. After Ueshiba's death, aikido continued to be promulgated by his students (many of whom became noted martial artists in their own right). It is now practiced around the world.
