Hideki Tojo

**Hideki Tojo** was a Japanese politician, statesman, and general of the Imperial Japanese Army who later helped Max Stirner in his quest to spread Egoist anarchism, eventually playing a major role in Evangelion.

Born in Tokyo on December 30, 1884, Tojo grew up in Japan and started a military career. He met Max Stirner in the 1930s and with his help became a prominent politician in the country. He served as the Prime Minister of Japan from 1941 until his resignation in 1944. After the end of the war, he was convicted by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East for presiding over numerous war crimes and the systematic massacre and starvation of civilians and prisoners of war, but he was able to escape from the country with help of Max Stirner.

Tojo was believed to be dead by international observers who reported on his disappearance, but the truth is that he had escaped to Algiers with the help of Stirner. When Stirner moved to N'Djamena, Tojo followed him and helped him to establish the Central Africa-Chad Union of Egoists. Tojo would be crucial in the development of the nation, as he privately advised Stirner on how to deal with multiple issues that the country had in the 20th century.

3 years after the release of the Xenomorph Files, Tojo revealed to the public that he was alive and in the CCUOE, sparking a Human Earthist Front investigation on him. He soon became a wanted criminal in all HEF member states but Egoist protection prevented them from cracking down on him. Tojo would continue helping Stirner up to World War III, where Stirner faked his death and gave the position of President to both Tojo and Purificación Carpinteyro.

Tojo and Carpinteyro were the *de jure* leaders of the CCUOE, but they were secretly advised by Stirner on how to deal with foreign and domestic policy. The CCUOE got more isolated in world geopolitics and halted a lot of its military development during Tojo's presidency.

When Stirner returned to the public during the Cambodian Crisis, Tojo remained with the position of President of the CCUOE but Stirner fully returned to administrating the country. After World War IV, Tojo privately advised Stirner and pushed him to change his ideological goals.

Alongside Stirner and remaining Egoist officials, Tojo went into hiding after World War IV and after Stirner contacted La Morsa, Tojo oversaw the creation of NERV and SEELE. He established the Third Impact plan alongside Stirner and played a major role in the events of Evangelion.

Tojo oversaw the Third Impact alongside Stirner (who had taken the disguise of Gendo Ikari) but after the events of Steins;Gate prevented the Third Impact, Tojo was captured by the Human Earthist Front's Avengers Initiative to give them information about Stirner and his plans. He was executed by hanging in 2194.

After his death, the HEF published a document called '*Tojo's Diaries*', which were a collection of writings of interrogations that the HEF did with Tojo. They had detailed information about the Egoist Internationale, SEELE, and NERV, alongside Max Stirner's personal life.

## Ideology

Tojo was one of the first major proponents of Egoist anarchism after Stirner talked to him about the theory in the 1940s. He secretly joined the Egoist Internationale in 1946 and had a loyalty to Max Stirner.

After World War IV, Max Stirner was physically and mentally weakened. Tojo was heavily influential in Stirner's ideological change during this period, which lead to the creation of the Third Impact plan, which would later be implemented in 2195, although it would be stopped by Steins;Gate.
