Black Dragon Society

History:

The Kokurykaiwas founded in 1901 by Uchida Ryohei, and

was descended from theGenysha. (Uchida was a follower

ofGenysha founderMitsuru Toyama.) Its name is derived

from the Amur River, called Heilongjiang or "Black Dragon

River" in Chinese (?), read as Kokury-k in Japanese.

Its public goal was to support efforts to drive the Russian

Empireout of east Asia, south of the Amur River.

The Kokurykaiinitially made strenuous efforts to distance

itself from the criminal elements of its predecessor, the

Genysha. As a result, its membership included CabinetMinisters and high-ranking military officers as well as

professionalsecret agents. However, as time passed, it found

the use of criminal activities to be a convenient 'means to an

end' for many of its operations.

The Society published a journal, and operated an espionage

training school, from which it dispatched agents to gather

intelligence on Russian activities in Russia, Manchuria,Korea

and China. It also pressured Japanese politicians to adopt a

strong foreign policy. The Kokuryukai also supportedPan-

Asianism, and lent financial support to revolutionaries suchas Sun Yat-sen, and Emilio Aguinaldo.

During theRusso-Japanese War,annexation of Korea and

Siberian Intervention, theImperial Japanese Armymade use

of the Kokurykainetwork forespionage, sabotage and

assassination. They organized Manchurian guerrillas against

the Russians from the Chinese warlords and bandit chieftains

in the region, the most important being MarshalChang Tso-

lin. The Black Dragons waged a very successful

psychological warfare campaign in conjunction with the

Japanese military, spreading disinformation and propagandathroughout the region. They also acted as interpreters for the

Japanese army.

The Kokurykaiassisted the Japanese spy, Colonel Motojiro

Akashi. Akashi, who was not directly a member of the Black

Dragons, ran successful operations in China, Manchuria,

Siberia and established contacts throughout the Muslim

world. These contacts in Central Asia were maintained

throughWorld War II. The Black Dragons also formed close

contact and even alliances with Buddhist sects throughout

Asia.

During the 1920s and 1930s, the Kokurykaievolved into

more of a mainstream political organization, and publicly

attacked liberal and leftist thought. Although it never hadmore than several dozen members at any one time during

this period, the close ties of its membership to leading

members of the government, military and powerful business

leaders gave it a power and influence far greater than most

other ultranationalist groups.

Initially directed only against Russia, in the 1930s, the

Kokurykaiexpanded its activities around the world, and

stationed agents in such diverse places as Ethiopia,Turkey,

Morocco, throughout southeast Asia and South America, as

well as Europeand the United States.
