  The American Experience | MacArthur | People & Events | Prime Minister Yoshida Shigeru (1878-1967)
Yoshida, whose mother was rumored to be a geisha, had been adopted by a childless Yokohama merchant and his wife, who provided him with a good education and a sizeable inheritance.
Yoshida later revealed to his daughter that the American paced theatrically back and forth while delivering one of his sekkyo, or sermons, prompting Yoshida to laugh, as he imagined being caged with a pacing lion.
This was particularly true during Yoshida's first premiership, from the spring of 1946 through the spring of 1947, when the Socialists gained enough seats to control the government.

 Yui-itsu Shinto.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Its founder Yoshida Kanetomo explained the triad of deity (kami), spirit (rei) and the human heart (shin) as a form of fundamental unified existence prior to heaven and earth, within which the myriads of kami (yaoyorozu no kami) constituted a single unity rather than a multiplicity of deities.
The most significant of Kanetomo's achievements was to secure for the Yoshida clan the right to award ranks to the deities of local shrines, to regulate their rituals and to confer priestly status on applicants.
The Yoshida's right to confer shrine ranks, which made them the single most powerful influence in the development of shrine Shinto during the Tokugawa period, lasted until the Meiji restoration in 1868 when a centralised government shrine-ranking system was inaugurated.

 Tatsuya Yoshida
Yoshida is the founder and drummer of the seminal duo The Ruins, who since their first record in 1986—a self-titled 7” EP released by Trans Records—have been a focal point for new rock in Japan.
Working with a string of bassists, Yoshida built a sound borrowing from the exactitude of progressive rock, short bursts of punk energy, the remarkable precision of so much Japanese music and an invented language (in tribute to prog legends Magma).
With his own imprint, Yoshida was able to pursue other projects, such as the odd little songs of Akaten (his duo with Acid Mother’s Temple bassist Atsushi Tsuyama); Koenji Hyakkei, a larger and more overtly prog-inspired group; and numerous compilations of Japanese rock bands.

 Hitachi Data Systems Storage Expert Hu Yoshida Outlines New Storage Network Paradigm to Overcome E-commerce Bottlenecks ...
Citing parallels between the historical growth of the telecom industry and the emerging e-commerce industry, Yoshida outlined key issues, including the need for rapid growth management (scalability) and the provision of fast, continuous service for customers, and how switches enable the connectivity for both telephony and e-commerce.
To address bottlenecks in scalability and speed posed by current storage architectures, Yoshida proposed a new data storage paradigm in which data is passed through switching networks internal to storage subsystems, as well as through externally attached switching fabrics such as storage area networks (SANs).
Yoshida closed by stating that no matter who eventually develops the switched storage controller, Hitachi Data Systems Freedom Data Networks and Freedom Storage Products already lead the market in meeting the scalability and availability needs of today's large data networks that support e-commerce.

 Tatsuya Yoshida vs. Slava Ganelin and Albert Beger
Yoshida played for a hour short pieces from the Ruins extensive catalogue, all based on short and complex patterns on the drums, that never lock into a groove, and hardly repeats themselves, but seem to evolve in a reasoned order, as if Yoshida adds geometrical patterns to a large canvas.
Yoshida, still charged from the first set, soon began his speedy assault of the drums, leaving Ganelin gasping in attempt to catch up with him.
Yoshida seemed to enjoy this game, and even showed much more restrained, and even gentle playing when Beger switched to the flute, but it was clear that he felt much more relaxed when Beger returned to the tenor sax and accelerated the speed till the final coda.

The Yoshida doctrine, his policy for Japan's postwar recovery, consisted of focusing the country's resources on economic production supported by well-trained workers while adopting the United States's stance on issues of security and international politics.
Although this was a safe course throughout the cold war and led to spectacular economic growth, by the 1990s it created a new set of issues that Japan had to contend with.
Japan also found itself under pressure to assume a greater share of the international military burden, which involved facing public distrust of the military and long-held pacifism.
