	Trial Watch : Shigetaro Shimada
		Nonetheless, the IMTFE found that the evidence was insufficient to justify a finding that Shigetaro Shimada was responsible for these matters, that he ordered, authorized or permitted the commission of war crimes, or that he knew they were being committed and failed to take adequate steps to prevent their commission in the future.
		Therefore, Shigetaro Shimada was found not guilty on counts 54 (breaches of the laws and customs of war) and 55 (having recklessly disregarded his legal duty by virtue of his office to take adequate steps to secure the observance and prevent the breaches of the laws and customs of war).
		The Tribunal found Shigetaro Shimada guilty under Count 1 (conspiracy to wage wars of aggression against any country or countries, between 1 January 1928 and 2 September 1945) and under counts 27, 29, 31 and 32 (waging aggressive wars).

	Ruin in Two Phases -- Monday, Jul. 03, 1944 -- Page 1 -- TIME
		Shimada had met the U.S. fleet, tentatively and ineptly, in waters uncomfortably close to home between the Marianas and the inner bastion of the Philippines.
		The reason Shimada had no one to blame this time but himself was that old Nagano was no longer in the whipping-boy post.
		For the nonce, plump, taciturn Shimada said nothing; Tokyo's radio fantasists explained to the homeland and to Greater East Asia that the thing to do was to wait and see: some time the U.S. fleet would find itself far from home.

		An opponent of Japan's decision to declare war on the United States, Takagi was removed from his position of the Research Section in 1942 and was reassigned as chief of staff of the Maizuru Naval Base.
		Promoted Rear Admiral the following year, Takagi (who due to his access and unique knowledge of classified files from his time as chief of the Research Section) was asked by Navy Minister Shigetaro Shimada in September to compile a report analyzing Japanese defeats during the Pacific campaign of 1942.
		Believing the only solution for Japan was the elimination of the Tojo-led government and a truce with the United States, Takagi was hesitant to present the report to Shimada, instead beginning planning for the assassination of Prime Minister Hideki Tojo before his removal from office in July 1944.

		When asked why the Navy approved the war, Admiral Shimada Shigetaro, who was the then Navy Minister, replied that since the Army was strongly for the war, a disapproval on the part of the Navy would destroy the harmony between the Army and the Navy.
		Admiral Shimada Shigetaro thought a destruction of the harmony between the Army and the Navy was the worst case - worse than hostility between Japan and the United States.
		He thought a compromise with the Army might win him some time during which he could take the Navy's "own step"[71] The result of the Japanese Navy's effort to preserve harmony between the Navy and the Army was, ironically, the complete destruction of Japan's armed forces[72]
