| | According to his biographer, Sugawara Yutaka, the fascist clique that took control of the Japanese military had expelled Yanagawa from their ranks because he attempted to stop their 1932 coup. |
| | After his marginalization and demotion to the reserves, Yanagawa served as a commanding officer in China and performed "great military achievements...including the surrounding of Nanking," but the military withheld his name and photograph from publication at the time. |
