 ejcjs - Media Intimidation in Japan: A Close Encounter with Hard Japanese Nationalism
Even accepting that the extreme right in Japan is not an entirely coherent group and that its members are often in ideological dispute with one another, taken together, its activities add up to a massive and organized intimidatory presence.
Prime Minister Mori's recent slip, that Japan was a "divine nation centered on the emperor," is only the latest example of how apparently extreme rightist posturing, like calls for the restoration of the emperor's powers and denials of well-documented war crimes, find echoes all the way up to the top of Japan's dim political corridors.
What Japan suggests, however, is a situation even more problematic: one in which the media do not set, but rather limit, the agenda, thereby letting others (notably political actors) set it instead.

The succession of Emperors as described in the Nihon Shoki and the Kojiki cannot be taken at face-value.
Emperor Sujin is believed to have been the first "historical" Emperor (being the first Emperor to rule in the growing Yamato region) after the tribal confederacies that had held power previously--this does not mean, however, that he and those that followed did not have highly ficionalized lives.
