Thank you very much Neil for your kind advice!
I have just confirmed awkward Okada as new PM in the newsreel.
He is famous for being attacked by rebels in the 226 coup of 1936.
He survived but his brother-in-law had been misidentified as PM and killed.

Admiral Keisuke Okada assumes office--outtakes. Man on the left is interpreter.

Most Americans are unaware of how popular baseball became in Japan. Read about Moe Berg!

Prince Fushimi Kuniie (1802-1872).

He gave birth to 17 sons and 15 daughters.
Modern all direct royal family members came from him.
This may be why they look alike each other.
Awesome man.
