  Kanji Ishiwara at AllExperts
Kanji Ishiwara (石原 莞爾, January 18, 1889 - August 15, 1949) was a Japanese military officer in the Kantogun.
General Ishiwara was actually one of the few Japanese inside the military that rallied against expanding into China after taking Manchuria.
Ishiwara believed that a war with China would weaken Japan against the true threat of the Soviet Union that most in the military believed was inevitable.

 Background   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Ishiwara was raised to be a military man. Thirteen years after his birth in 1889, Ishiwara entered himself in a long road of military schooling by enrolling in the Sendai Regional Military Prepatory School.
Itagaki was four years Ishiwara's senior and was born in Northern Iwate in 1885.
It was between 1924 and 1926 that Itagaki served as lieutenant-colonel in Peking, and thus an assignment to Mukden in 1928 meant a return to a familiar continent.

Under the pretense of the Manchurian Incident, Lieutenant Colonel Kanji Ishiwara invaded Inner (Chinese) Manchuria in 1931, an action the Japanese government mandated with the creation of the puppet state of Manchukuo under the last Manchu emperor, Pu Yi.
As a result of international condemnation of the incident, Japan resigned from the League of Nations in 1933.
Many Japanese, including Kanji, believed war with the West to be inevitable due to inherent cultural differences and the oppression of Western imperialism (Japanese imperialism, often just as brutal, was justified as "preparing" Asia for the upcoming confrontation).

In May 1936, in the aftermath of the February 26th Incident, the Kwantung Army and the Ministry of Colonial Affairs formulated a proposal ‘for the dispatch of one million farm households to Manchuria,’ which was approved by the Hirota Cabinet as a twenty-year plan in August 1936.
After becoming active in the administration of the local youth association, at the age of 25 he had attended some of Kato Kanji’s lectures in Kamiyama and was persuaded that the opening up of new farm land at home and abroad was a means of solving the problems facing the non-inheriting sons of farm families.
Although inspired by Kato Kanji, Togashi’s ideas about emigration were also shaped by the dire straits of the countryside in the aftermath of the depression.

By the time of the Marco Polo Bridge Incident (July 7, 1937), even Ishiwara Kanji would not come out openly in alliance with the ministry in an effort to stop the further expansion of the China Incident (p.
