captain was the head of the japanese imperial navy 's advisory bureau on jewish affairs from march 1939 until april 1942 .
unlike his imperial japanese army counterpart , colonel yasue norihiro , he held to an anti-semitic ideology , believing strongly in the `` protocols of the elders of zion '' ; but these beliefs led him to think that attracting jews to settle in japanese-controlled asia was in the empire of japan 's best interests .
