As Kanemaru rose to power in the 1980s, reports say he funnelled millions of dollars, mostly from political donations, into his stash, kept secret to avoid paying taxes.

That has raised suspicions that Kanemaru, the power behind the throne for Japan’s last four prime ministers, might have been just as interested in personal gain as in winning elections.
