was a general of the Japanese Imperial Army and the commander of the expeditionary forces sent to China. He was sentenced to death by hanging by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East for being responsible for the Nanjing Massacre.

In 1933 he became one of the initiators of Grand Asia association, and also established Taiwan-Asia Association.

XX He was personally appointed to that post by Emperor Hirohito [citation needed]

XX said to then-Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro => said to General Sugiyama, minister of army, according to the memoir of then-Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro[2]

On August 23, the SEF was sent to Shanghai, which was reinforced with the 10th Army commanded by Lietenant General Heisuke Yanagawa later in October. On November 7, Central China Area Army (CCAA) was organized by combining the SEF and the 10th Army, with Matsui appointed as its commander-in-chief concurrently with that of the SEF.

After winning the battles around Shanghai, the SEF suggested the Headquarters of the General Staff in Tokyo to attack Nanjing. The order was delivered on December 1 of 1937, at the same time, the CCAA was rearranged and Lieutenant General Yasuhiko, Prince of Asaka, was appointed as the commander of the SEF, while Matsui stayed as the commander of CCAA overseeing both the SEF and the 10th Army.

halted only temporarily [citation needed]

Concerning atrocities in Nanjing, Matsui noted in his war journal about rapes (December 20) and looting (December 29) and wrote it was very much regrettable that those behaviors destroyed the reputation of the Imperial Army. He also mentioned "a number of abominable incidents within the past 50 days" at the memorial service for the war-dead of the SEF held on February 7[3] and rebuted in tears the officers and the soldiers in the place, saying that atrocities done by a part of the soldiers had dropped down the reputation of the empire, such a thing should not happen in the Imperial Army, they should keep the disciplines strictly and should never persecute the inocent people, and so on[4].

The International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE), also known as the Tokyo Trials, the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal or simply as the Tribunal, was convened to try the leaders of the Empire of Japan for three types of crimes: "Class A" (crimes against peace), "Class B" (war crimes), and "Class C" (crimes against humanity) - committed during World War II. War crimes charges against more junior personnel, such as the Rape of Nanking, were dealt with separately, in other cities throughout the Asia-Pacific region.

  1. ^ KASAHARA Tokushi states "more than 100,000 and close to 200,000, or maybe more", referring to his own book Nankin jiken Iwanami shinsho (FUJIWARA Akira (editor) Nankin jiken o dou miruka 1998 Aoki shoten, ISBN 4-250-98016-2, p.18). This estimation includes the surrounding area outside of the city of Nanking, which is objected by a Chinese researcher (the same book, p.146). HORA Tomio concludes "more than 200,000" in his book (Nankin jiken o dou miruka p.123, YOSHIDA Hiroshi Tennou no guntai to Nankin jiken 1998 Aoki shoten, ISBN 4-250-98019-7, p.160).
