Kiyoshi Goko

A businessman from Mizusawa Ward, Oshu City. He became president of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in 1942, but in the same year he was selected as a cabinet advisor to the Hideki Tojo cabinet, and became chairman the following year. After the war, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was manufacturing wartime weapons, and Goko, as president at the time, was working hard to increase production, but he was forced to be detained as a suspected war criminal. After being released from prison, he was punished by being expelled from public office, but when the charges were cleared and the punishment was lifted, he returned to the business world. He held various positions in the industry and contributed to the postwar economic recovery.
