  • Volume 15 Number 015 Tokyo Rose – Legend and Fact
    Volume 15 Number 015 Tokyo Rose – Legend and Fact Lead: In 1977, one of the last acts of President Gerald Ford was the pardon of Iva Toguri D’Aquino. During World War II, her broadcasts to troops in the Pacific, earned her their disdain and the humorous name, “Tokyo Rose.” Intro.: A Moment in Time with Dan Roberts. Content: Iva Toguri was born to Japanese immigrants in Los Angeles in 1916. She was a graduate of UCLA and a patriotic American citizen with plans to become a doctor. At the request of her mother, Iva visited Japan to care for an ailing aunt in late 1941 and was caught, unable to return home after the United States declared war following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. She refused to renounce her citizenship and lived the perilous life of an enemy alien. Iva worked as a typist during the war and transferred in 1943 to Radio Tokyo. One of the programs on that network was “Zero Hour,” an English-speaking propaganda broadcast designed to undermine morale of U.S. troops posted to the Pacific. Allied POWs with radio experience were forced by the Japanese government to participate in the propaganda effort by helping transmit a fool’s mixture of news and entertainment. Because she spoke English, Iva was recruited as one of the voices on the program. Her radio name was “Orphan Ann” – she was orphaned in Japan like American G.I.s were “orphans in the Pacific.” Ann was short for announcer. Iva was just one of a dozen female propaganda voices broadcast during the war.

    H-Law x-posted book review: The Tokyo Rose Case: Treason on Trial Discussion published by Charles Zelden on Monday, September 15, 2014 Yasuhide Kawashima. The Tokyo Rose Case: Treason on Trial. Landmark Law Cases and American Society Series. Lawrence University Press of Kansas, 2013. xiv + 189 pp. $34.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-7006-1904-7; $17.95 (paper), ISBN 978-0-7006-1905-4. Reviewed by Lisa Beckenbaugh (Military Analyst, Trideum Corp) Published on H-War (September, 2014) Commissioned by Margaret Sankey Tokyo Rose was a familiar figure to most Americans during World War II. An English-speaking female who taunted or, if you ask some servicemen, amused Allied soldiers in the Pacific theater with her tales of home front infidelity and battlefield failures. Fewer people are familiar with who Tokyo Rose actually was and her fate after the war. Yasuhide Kawashima, in his book, _The Tokyo Rose Case: Treason on Trial_, lays out in detail the identity and fate of one of the women identified as Tokyo Rose. The book goes into great detail about how Iva Ikuko Toguri d'Aquino, an American citizen who spoke no Japanese, was stranded in Japan when the war broke out. The author discusses how d'Aquino was able to survive in wartime Japan while being under constant surveillance by the Japanese Thought Control Police. As fate would have it, d'Aquino landed a job at Radio Tokyo and met three prisoners of war (POWs) broadcasting a show titled _Zero Hour_. They convinced their Japanese captors to let d'Aquino join their show and "Orphan Ann" debuted in May 1944.

Tokyo Rose is known as the most famous personality of radio propaganda in Japan. The name was given by Allied troops in the South Pacific during World War II to all female English-speaking radio broadcasters of Japanese propaganda (Tokyo). The programs were broadcast in the South Pacific and North America to demoralize Allied forces abroad and their families at home by emphasizing the troops’ wartime Movie poster on Tokyo difficulties and military losses. Rose (1MDb) Iva D’Aquino is the most famous person who had been known as “Tokyo Rose.” She led a checkered life because of her role as Tokyo Rose. Iva Toguri is her maiden name. She was born on July 4, 1916, to Japanese immigrants in Los Angeles. She had spent her youth there and joined some ordinary American activities such as Girls Scouts and her school tennis team. In 1941, when she was 25 years old, her parents sent her on a trip to Japan to help care for her aunt who was terribly sick (Andrews). Meanwhile, political tensions between the US and Early life in the US. Japan was growing. Toguri eventually tried to return to (Linda) 1 America, but she could not obtain a ship ticket to her home.
