Persona Non Grata (杉原千畝 スギハラチウネ) is a 2015 Japanese historical drama.
 It depicts a life of Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara who was appointed a vice-consul and later a consul in Lithuania and served there from 1939 to 1940 and who saved lives of some 6,000 Jewish refugees by issuing transit visas to Japanese Empire.
Visas and Virtue is a 1997 narrative short film inspired by the true story of Holocaust rescuer Chiune "Sempo" Sugihara, who is known as "The Japanese Schindler".
 Sugihara issued over 2,000 transit visas to Polish and Lithuanian Jews from his consulate in Kaunas, Lithuania, in August 1940, in defiance of his own government (Japan), thereby allowing an estimated 6,000 individuals to escape the impending Holocaust.
Japanese military yen (Chinese and Japanese: 日本軍用手票, also 日本軍票 in short), commonly abbreviated as JMY , was the :currency issued to the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army and the Imperial Japanese Navy as a salary .
 The Imperial Japanese government first started issuing the military yen during the Russo-Japanese War in 1904.
 The military yen reached its peak during the Pacific War period, when the Japanese government excessively issued it to all of its occupied territories.
 In Hong Kong, the military yen was forced upon the local population as the sole official currency of the territory.
 Since the military yen was not backed by gold, and did not have a specific place of issuance, the military yen could not be exchanged for the Japanese yen.
 Forcing local populations to use the military yen officially was one of the ways the Japanese government could dominate the local economies.
Sakhalin Koreans are Russian citizens and residents of Korean descent living on Sakhalin Island, who trace their roots to the immigrants from the Gyeongsang and Jeolla provinces of Korea during the late 1930s and early 1940s, the latter half of the Japanese colonial era.
 At the time, the southern half of Sakhalin Island, then known as Karafuto Prefecture, was under the control of the Empire of Japan; the Japanese government both recruited and forced Korean labourers into service and shipped them to Karafuto to fill labour shortages resulting from World War II.
 The Red Army invaded Karafuto days before Japan's surrender; while all but a few Japanese there repatriated successfully, almost one-third of the Koreans could not secure permission to depart either to Japan or their home towns in South Korea.
 For the next forty years, they lived in exile.
 In 1985, the Japanese government offered transit rights and funding for the repatriation of the original group of Sakhalin Koreans; however, only 1,500 of them returned to South Korea in the next two decades.
 The vast majority of Koreans of all generations chose instead to stay on Sakhalin.
Tatsuo Osako (大迫辰雄), of Chiba, Japan was a citizen of the Japanese Empire during World War II who is most notable for transporting Jews to safety.
 He was responsible for transporting over 2,000 Jews from German-occupied counties, and ship them safely elsewhere.
 These refugees had transit visas issued by Chiune Sugihara, who is often referred to as the Japanese Schindler.
Sinfonia da Requiem, Op. 20, for orchestra is a symphony written by Benjamin Britten in 1940 at the age of 26.
 It was one of several works commissioned from different composers by the Japanese government to mark the 2,600th anniversary of the founding of the Japanese Empire (taken to be 11 February 660 BCE).
 The Japanese government rejected the Sinfonia for its use of Latin titles from the Catholic Requiem for its three movements and for its somber overall character, but it was received positively at its world premiere in New York City under John Barbirolli.
 A performance in Boston under Serge Koussevitzky led to the commission of the opera "Peter Grimes" from the Koussevitzky Music Foundations.
Chiune Sugihara, also called Sempo Sugihara (Japanese: 杉原 千畝 , "Sugihara Chiune", 1 January 1900 – 31 July 1986) was a Japanese government official who served as vice consul for the Japanese Empire in Lithuania.
 During the Second World War, Sugihara helped thousands of Jews flee Europe by issuing transit visas to them so that they could travel through Japanese territory, risking his job and his family's lives .
 The fleeing Jews were refugees from German-occupied Western Poland and Soviet-occupied Eastern Poland, as well as residents of Lithuania.
 A few decades after the war, in 1985, the State of Israel honored Sugihara as one of the Righteous Among the Nations (Hebrew: ) for his actions.
 He is the only Japanese national to have been so honored.

The Iljinhoe (一進會; 일진회) was a nationwide pro-Japan organization in Korea formed on August 8, 1904.
 A Japanese record states the number of party members was about 800,000, but another survey record by the Japanese Resident-General of Korea in 1910 shows the number was about 90,000.
 After seeing the failure of Korea's isolationism, the party claimed that Korea could not develop capitalism on its own, and demanded a merger with the Japanese Empire.
 Song Byung Joon (송병준), the leader of the group and a high-ranking official in the Korean government before the Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty who was considered a leading national traitor of Korea, actively pushed ahead the annexation and received a title of nobility from the Japanese government in 1920.
 The group was disbanded on September 26, 1910, a month after the Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty.
