Charles Andrew Willoughby (1892-1972).
He served as General Douglas MacArthur's Chief of Intelligence in the Allied GHQ.
He positively made use of Japanese nationalists to purge a large number of communitst in Japan.
Because of this, most of the leading nationalists survived the postwar.
Abe's grandfather, Nobusuke Kishi, was one of them.

Willoughby also rescued Shiro Ishii who was responsible for Unit 731 in exchange of his cooperation.
As I mentioned somewhere in this forum before, former Unit 731 members worked for ABCC (Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission) in Hiroshima.

Evidently that information was useless due to the crude nature of their meathods. If memory serves, didn't he fake dementia also to escape the gallos?

He served as Chief of Government Section in the Allied GHQ to promote Japan's democratization by liberating Japanese communists who had been jailed by the Japanese authorities during the war. He was also engaged in drafting the new Japanese Constitution. Japanese pacifism was started by him.

Long story short.
So, the first Japanese cabinet under the new constitution was led by Socialist Party in 1947.
But this new "revolutionary" government had ended up in next year soon because they preferred endless infightings to minding the people.
No way but the old nationalists were called back again as Liberal Democratic Party like we see today.
