The Inventor of The Kamikazes

Jiro Horikoshi created an airplane so incredible that it made Japan believe that it could come out winner of the Second War.

From where nothing was expected, Zero came. A lightweight fighter with high maneuverability and flight autonomy was the biggest surprise of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The Americans, their allies and even their enemies became beasts: how Japan - isolated and late - had succeeded to make the best airplane of the Second War? No one was unaware that the Rising Sun Empire was an ascendant power: it began the 20th century by annexing Korea and Taiwan, and now attacked mainland China. What few knew was that Japan had the technology to produce something so advanced.

In fact, the Mitsubishi A6M Zero was a point off the curve. Just like its creator, Jiro Horikoshi. Little, with a sharp face and always with glasses, the engineer was known for his passion for airplanes and for obsessive innovation. The biggest box office in Japan in 2013 was an animation inspired by Horikoshi's life: Hayden Miyazaki's The Wind Rises, nominated for an Oscar - which the director won in 2002 with Spirited Away. In addition to success, the film has created controversy: an inventor of warplanes have artist soul?

After graduation, in 1927, Horikoshi entered the arm of Mitsubishi in the aviation sector. Japanese companies fought to cover the requests of the Aeronautics, the main customer of the time. Two years after admission, he was sent to meet competitors around the world. In the USA, he deciphered the secrets of the assembly line. In Germany, he was a trainee in the design of a freighter - which eventually served as the basis for a bomber in Japan.

While the bosses celebrated the technology transfer, Horikoshi celebrated another discreet smuggling. In his luggage was the fundamental element of the airplanes of the future.

Towards Zero

Duralumin. It looks like a blind-brand name, but it was a lightweight, hyper-resistant metal alloy that few had heard of in 1930 when Horikoshi brought the material to Japan. At a time when planes still had pieces of wood and plywood, and their fuselage was covered in fabric, making an all-metal plane was Horikoshi's dream. With duralumin, this dream became possible.

The first part of this dream is an aircraft that, according to experts, is the one that best defines its creator. The Mitsubishi A5M bore the marks of what became known as "Design Horikoshi": the fuselage as a single piece, from nose to tail, that is tapering; the front wings that appear with the perfection of a feather; the vertical stabilizer and the tail that evolve from a center line. It was a success.

Until a new order appeared: an ultralight aircraft with heavy artillery. In a society where experience is the greatest business card, it is surprising that Jiro, 37, was chosen to play the project. "The military wanted someone who thought differently, who could produce something completely new," says Shinji Suzuki, a historian with Japan's Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Horikoshi worked tirelessly on the project for two years. She had spent nights on the drawing board, she had fallen ill, in bed. Until the first flight arrived in 1939. The new machine met all the requirements: lightness, agility, reach, power. It was made of zicral, an evolution of duralumin. And it gained the name of Mitsubishi A6M Zero, or simply Zero, reference to the year of launch, 1940 - or 2600 in the count of the Imperial Era.

The arrival of Zero guaranteed Japan the conquest of China. "With two machine guns and two 20-mm guns, the Zeros were better armed than any other plane that faced them," said Masatake Okumiya, a former Imperial Navy pilot. Its speed of 480 km / h allowed to reach any enemy aircraft. In two months and 22 attacks, Japan won the conflict without any of the 153 Zero used had been shot down.

Superb and Legacy

The overwhelming victories of the Zeros encouraged the leaders of the Japanese Imperial Navy to take a more risky step. "Our intelligence guaranteed that in battle, Zero would be equivalent to five enemy fighters," says Okumiya. It was with such confidence that the Japanese climbed the aircraft to lead the famous attack on Pearl Harbor, which played the United States in the war.

There is a consensus today that the Japanese did not expect to beat the Americans. The idea was to attack first and then seek a diplomatic solution. Only diplomacy never came. "We were convinced that the conflict would be closed before the situation became catastrophic for Japan," Horikoshi wrote in his diary. "Now, devoid of any firm government movement, we are being led to ruin. Japan is being destroyed. "In 1945, the Nazis were defeated in Europe and the United States turned to the Pacific - with new and modern airplanes.

When the atomic bombs fell on Hiroshima and Nagazaki, the beautiful creation of Horikoshi no longer crossed the air. The last Zeros were used as ammunition on the suicide missions of the Tokkotai, known in the West as kamikazes.

The defeat ended with the Japanese aircraft industry. But his breakthroughs have been in cars and even bullet trains. At a time when Japan was still crawling on technology, Horikoshi's obsession for innovation, who passed away in 1982, marked. If he created the greatest symbol of Imperial Japan's strength, on the other hand, he was never enthusiastic about war. If it depends on the animation Lives to the Wind, Jiro will be remembered as a man who, before anything, just wanted to make a beautiful plane.

The Wind Rises

Oscar-nominated animation sparked controversy in Japan:

The Wind Rises, Jiro Horikoshi's biopic, sparked controversy. The animation was attacked by historians (who criticized the invention of a wife for Jiro) and nationalists. Miyazaki's criticism of the war has put the director and his new film under fire from a small but noisy clique in favor of remilitarization of Japan. Curiously, in China and South Korea, detractors accuse the director of making a war film. In the middle of the crossfire, Miyazaki chose not to respond to criticism. He just announced that, sadly, this must be his last film.

Choshiu

http://humanphenotypes.net/choshiu.gif

Description:
Gracilised variant of the Manchu-Korean type, named after the old Japanese Choshu Domain. Once common in Chinese-Korean aristocracy. Today mainly found in Japan. Can be placed in North Sinid. Probably developed through selection of gracile female features in marriages of the noble circles. In its purest form along the west coast of Honshu, but found across all Japanese islands and sometimes in Korea.
Physical Traits:
Light to brownish yellow skin with coarse straight hair. Rather short to medium height, macroskelic, ectomorph. Mesocephalic, sometimes dolichocephalic, (mildly) hypsicranic. Mildly leptorrhine, sometimes convex nose. The face is narrow and elongated, the mouth small, and the eyes oblique, often with the epicanthic fold.
Literature:
Defined and named early by Baelz (1883), the name was kept by Eickstedt (1952c), Saller (1949) , Weinert (1965), Vallois (1971) and others. Lundman (1967) equated it with the Yakonin type, who was seen a rare modification by others (Klenke, 1938). Matsumoto's (1921) Chikuzen type is similar, but closer to Satsuma.

Nord Sinid, i guess.

I think he was of the Yakonin type. This type seems to be a mix of Nordsind and paleomongoloid like Ainu( though i am not sure). This type was common in the Japanese high-caste, including the samurais.

Description:

East Asian type that has been associated with the ancient Japanese government and nobility circles. The name derives from yakunin (Jap.: bureaucrat). Shows pseudo-Semitic features and may in blend produce Indianoid individuals. Occasionally found across Japan, although nowhere particularly common. Rare in China, where it may be linked to Tibetid elements

Physical Traits:

Light to brownish yellow skin with coarse straight to wavy hair. Rather short to medium height, macroskelic and ectomorph. Usually mesocephalic, (mildly) hypsicranic with a prominent, long and convex nose, sometimes with a broad tip. The face is narrow and elongated, the mouth small, and the eyes are almond shaped, sometimes with the Mongolian fold.
