	News & Opinion: They Call Her Tokyo Rose (NewCity . 01-20-98)
		She is a myth first spawned by U.S. servicemen listening to female disc jockeys on wartime radio in the Pacific, then seized and molded by a U.S. government seeking to hand out blame for years of death and destruction, and finally propagated by silence, ignorance and ambivalence in the fifty years since.
		Radio Tokyo was responsible for English-language radio broadcasts in the Pacific, which included anti-American propaganda.
		When Radio Tokyo asked Cousens to add a female voice, he chose Toguri from amongst several Japanese-American women at NHK, although she was less experienced in broadcasting and less appealing in her presentation.

	Review: Tokyo Marui radio controlled JGSDF Type 90 tank
		The radio is a quite comfortable pseudo-pistol-grip unit that takes a single nine volt battery, and lets you steer the tank, rotate the turret and change gun elevation.
		Tokyo Marui, and a few other manufacturers, make accurately modelled Airsoft replicas of pretty much every popular firearm in the world, not to mention various special custom guns and sci-fi weapons.
		Tokyo Marui had their own page for the tank until recently, but now their site is "under construction".

		Iva Toguri, convicted and later pardoned by President Gerald Ford for being the infamous wartime radio broadcaster “Tokyo Rose,” died on Tuesday in Chicago of natural causes, according to her nephew, William Toguri.

	Quest for Tokyo Rose
		Radio was a welcome source of diversion for those Gl's on war patrol in submarines, and catching the ear of those sailors were the words from voices like Madam Tojo, Radio Rose, Annie of Radio Tokyo and Little Orphan Annie.
		They had been on the trail of Tokyo Rose since the end of the war, and were instrumental in having her locked up in the first place.
		Late in Sept. 1949, after much questioning directed at the Judge, the jury found "Tokyo Rose" -the world hardly knew the name Iva Toguri-guilty of Overt Act VI: A broadcast to the US forces about how they were now stranded after the loss of their ships at the battle of Leyte Gulf.

		While continuing to work for Radio Tokyo in 1945, she married Felipe D'Aquino, a Domei news agency employee with Portuguese citizenship and Japanese ancestry.
		She said that she was Tokyo Rose, evidently presuming that no great notoriety would be attached to that and perhaps hoping to embellish an intriguing story for American readers, having been paid for her account in a magazine article.

	Is That Legal?: Iva Toguri D'Aquino, 1916-2006
		It was known as the "Tokyo Rose" case, because it arose from the nightly Radio Tokyo propaganda show that American servicemen in the Pacific liked to say was anchored by a disc jockey named "Tokyo Rose." In fact, though, Radio Tokyo had no disc jockey by that name.
		Quite a few women did English-language broadcasts for Radio Tokyo during the war, and "Tokyo Rose" was a made-up name that soldiers used for all of these female voices.
		The army ultimately declined to prosecute her, and she was released from detention in Tokyo in May of 1946.

	Tokyo Rose RIP - Political Hotwire
		WASHINGTON - Iva Toguri, the American woman branded ``Tokyo Rose'' during World War II who was imprisoned for making treasonous radio broadcasts and exonerated decades later with a presidential pardon, died Sept. 26 at her home in Chicago.
		Taunting millions of servicemen with stories of infidelity on the home front, false reports of battle outcomes meant to demoralize them, and frequent spins of pop songs to keep them listening, the broadcasts of Radio Tokyo were considered instruments in the propaganda war.
		She literally cheered in the streets as U.S. Gen. Doolittle's Raiders flew over Tokyo, and cheered yet again when the first American B-29's appeared over Tokyo in the fall of '44 (the first one was a BR-29 reconnaissance craft named "Tokyo Rose").

		The woman who was finally identified as "Tokyo Rose" by the American press (civilian and military) was Iva Toguri D'Aquino, an American born to Japanese immigrant parents.
		She was a graduate of UCLA and had not left the United States at any time prior to her being sent to Japan to care for an ailing aunt just before the outbreak of the Pacific War.

		But the identity of Tokyo Rose became attached to D'Aquino, a native of Southern California and the only woman broadcasting for Radio Tokyo known to be a U.S. citizen.

		Testifying at the 12-week trial, D'Aquino denied she had ever made any disloyal statements on Radio Tokyo and she was supported in testimony from former Allied prisoners of war who had worked in the Japanese broadcasting operation.

		From his bully pulpit as the most powerful newspaper columnist and radio commentator of his time, Winchell didn’t just call for Iva to be kept out of the country, he demanded that she be prosecuted for treason.

		The problem for Aquino, though, was that “Tokyo Rose” was not an actual person, but the fabricated name given by soldiers to a series of American-speaking women who made propaganda broadcasts under different aliases.
		As a result of her interview with the two reporters, Aquino came to be seen by the public—though not by Army and FBI investigators—as the mythical protagonist "Tokyo Rose." This popular image defined her in the public mind of the post-war period and continues to color debate about her role in World War II today.
		Toguri was not a professional radio personality, but many of those who later recalled hearing her enjoyed the program, especially the music.
