  • Admiral Yamamoto As an Innovator
    Kiyoshi Aizawa Admiral Yamamoto as an Innovator Kiyoshi Aizawa It must be noted that the English version does not necessarily reflect the original Japanese text. I was just given an introduction; my name is Aizawa. As my area of study is history of war and the issue of organizations is out of my realm of expertise, I wondered about what I should talk about. After all, the only subject I can elaborate on is history of war. So 80% to 90% of my lecture will be about history of war, and I will spend the rest of my time talking about the assigned subject, “Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto as an Innovator.” Specifically, I will look at how the attack on Pearl Harbor was planned and executed, since Yamamoto was the main architect behind the attack. The Pearl Harbor attack devised by Isoroku Yamamoto was significantly different from the Imperial Navy’s traditional concept of operations. In early January of 1941, or 11 months before the war with the United States started, Yamamoto, Commander of the Combined Fleet sent an opinion paper, entitled “My view on War Readiness,” to Naval Minister Admiral Koshiro Oikawa, in which he emphasized the importance of an attack on Pearl Harbor as the first phase if a war with the United States was inevitable. Yamamoto argued that “the essential point of what we must do first in the Japanese-U.S. war is to launch a fierce attack on the enemy’s main fleet and destroy it at the opening of the war, making the U.S.
