This article focuses on Lieutenant-General Kikuzo Otani of the Japanese Military. He was born in Fukui, on the west coast. Otani, reared in a tense atmosphere, was an eager lad of fifteen when an American teacher arrived in Fukui and began instructing him. At the first opportunity, on reaching military age in 1878, he chose a soldier's career. Otani proved his energy in the transport service, by which a perfectly equipped army was, with scarcely a hitch of any sort, thrown first into Korea and then into Manchuria. When Germany, humbling China and outraging her sovereignty, rose as the next spectre, Japan promptly obeyed the call of Great Britain, her ally.
