His courageous act was unknown till a Jewish man whoes life was saved by Sugihara, decided to look for him almost 20 years later. Read more...It's amazing!

Why dont you set up a section on biographies of well known Japanese industrialists..I for example read with quite interest the autobiography of Akio Morita.
He is an also pretty amazing man!
I am sure there are so many more amazing Japanese men we don't know about.
I wish I had more time to research them.
But my favorite is Chiue Sugihara.
His wife was so lucky to be able to support such a honorable man!
