==History==
''The Japan Times'' was launched by Motosada Zumoto on March 22, 1897, with the goal of giving Japanese an opportunity to read and discuss news and current events in English in order to help Japan to participate more fully in the international community.〔Kamiya, Setsuko, "Japan Times not just wartime mouthpiece", ''The Japan Times'', 13 August 2011, p. 3.〕 It was successively renamed ''The Japan Times and Mail'' (1918–1940) following its merger with ''The Japan Mail'', ''The Japan Times and Advertiser'' (1940–1943) following its merger with ''The Japan Advertiser'', and ''Nippon Times'' (1943–1956) before reverting to the ''Japan Times'' title in 1956. The temporary change to ''Nippon Times'' occurred during an anti-English language sentiment during World War II era Japan.〔Ishii, Hayato.

At first, the paper was independent of government control, but from 1931 onward, the Japanese government was mounting pressure on the paper's editors to submit to its policies. In 1933, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs managed to appoint Hitoshi Ashida, former Ministry official, as chief editor.〔(Peter O'Connor, The Japan Times at War Time: Mouth piece or Moderator? )〕 During World War II, the newspaper served as an outlet for Imperial Japanese government propaganda and editorial opinion. The paper's circulation at that time was about 825,000.〔
Nifco, a manufacturer of automotive fasteners, acquired control of ''The Japan Times'' in 1996.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nifco.co.jp/prf/outline.html )〕 Nifco chairman Toshiaki Ogasawara (小笠原 敏晶 ''Ogasawara Toshiaki'') is also the chairman and publisher of ''The Japan Times''. His daughter Yukiko Ogasawara (小笠原 有輝子 ''Ogasawara Yukiko'') was president of the company from 2006 to 2012, when she was replaced by career ''Japan Times'' staffer Takeharu Tsutsumi.〔(About Us ) ''The Japan Times''.〕
