Mamoru Shinozaki
, a former Japanese diplomat was convicted and jailed by the British for spying for Japan before the Second World War. He was later credited as the "Japanese Schindler" for saving thousands of Chinese and Eurasians by his liberal issue of personal safety passes and the creation of safe havens during the Japanese occupation of Singapore. He was also instrumental for being the key prosecution witness during the Singapore War Crimes Trial between 1946 and 1948. A book he wrote after the war called ''Syonan—My Story'', continues to give an invaluable insight into the Japanese occupation of Singapore today.
==Early life==
Shinozaki was born in Japan in February 1908. His father owned a Fukuoka coal-mine and was often away on business. He was raised largely by his grandmother, who had desired him to become a monk. She arranged for him to stay at a Buddhist temple for a year at the age of six, but his father opposed the idea. As a student, he was keen in socialism, reading in secret the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, a serious offence in those days which got him expelled from his Kyoto high school. After spending a year as a ''ronin'' he entered Meiji University to study journalism. Upon graduating in 1931, he found employment as a reporter with the Dōmei News Agency. In 1934 he was posted to Shanghai, then to Nanking, and finally to Hankou, from where he was recalled. He went on to join the Japanese Foreign Ministry as a press attache in Berlin, and later reassigned to Singapore in October 1938.
