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.

Shigeru Yoshida[shEgA´rOO yO´shEdA] Pronunciation Key, 1878–1967, Japanese statesman.
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.

 Modern Japan Yoshida Shigeru, History_Other, College Term Papers.com
Yoshida’s main objectives for Japan were intense economic growth, pacifism, and for Japan to be rather passive and inactive in the international arena.
Several of the subsequent Prime Ministers after Yoshida were of the “Yoshida School” and thus followed the guidelines of the Yoshida Doctrine in their efforts to improve Japan’s economy, as well as to prevent any re-armament on the part of Japan.
Yoshida’s School dominated the conservative movement as well as the government; and it was the principles of Yoshida and the way they were upheld that led Japan to economic prosperity.

The Yoshida cabinet ignored the GHQ’s instruction to reexamine Hatoyama’s case, insisting that the Japanese government had no authority on his case because it was a “special memorandum case,” in which the GHQ overruled the Japanese government screening committee’s decision and purged their persona non grata.
Yoshida then suddenly dissolved the HR in August 1952: the so-called “surprise dissolution.” He convened the 14th temporary HR session in order to deceive HR members that there would not be a dissolution of the HR in the near future, and then dissolved the session on its third day.
Yoshida was hoping that the Liberal Party could still win the HR elections and yelled at Ikeda, “Fire Ogata.” In the meantime, Kishi, along with the two factions of the JSP, agreed to submit a bill for a nonconfidence vote in the Yoshida cabinet on December 7, 1954.

Yoshida's contribution was made before the consolidation of the conservative camp, Kishi's came later.
When Yoshida Shigeru called for elections in the autumn of 1952, Kishi was not prepared and his young party was crushed at the polls.
Yoshida had stalled all negotiations over reparations and criticized foreign aid, saying, "You have to trade with rich men; you can't trade with beggars."18 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had followed Yoshida's lead, promising little and dragging out negotiations interminably.

It is well-known that Yoshida laid the foundations of Japan's postwar prosperity by holding fast to his policy of keeping Japan only lightly armed and focusing primarily on economic development, in defiance of U.S. demands for the country to rearm.
Yoshida cooperated with the postwar occupation forces because Gen. Douglas MacArthur decided to retain the imperial family to prevent Japan from collapsing, Hara argues.
Yoshida's intention may have been to protect the authority of the emperor, but, Hara concludes, the historical implications of Hirohito's "failure to act on his war responsibility" are quite heavy.

The heterogeneity of Japanese views on alliance terms is further demonstrated by the positions taken by Yoshida and his Liberal Party.
On the issue of rearmament, in contrast, Yoshida and many members of his party were much more eager to resist Dulles’ demands.
Because the San Francisco Treaties so closely followed Yoshida’s own priorities, it is tempting to assume that the alliance strategy was a product of his brilliance, his power, and his strategic vision.

 chez Nadezhda :: Sheathed Sword: Military Restraint and Japanese Security Policy
Although Yoshida and the rest of his LDP peers strongly opposed communism, they were more acutely concerned with the suppression of its presence in domestic politics than they were combatting it abroad.
It is in many ways a testament to Yoshida’s political craftsmanship that his doctrine both assured Japanese security and paved the way for reconstruction and economic development, while also satisfying all major interests and building a strong consensus behind continued LDP leadership.
Yoshida had the luxury of free security, and could cling to hadome in order to preserve his independence; put to the test of abandonment, his successors have been forced to compromise and accept a greater share of Japan’s defense burden.

 The Price of Pacifism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Yoshida ultimately endorsed the amendment and SCAP (perhaps not entirely considering the full ramifications) offered full support, but it is wrong to view it purely as an indication of entrenched conservative militarism or U.S. pressure.
It is therefore the case that, since the early years of the occupation, diverse political factions – not to mention SCAP – generally agreed that the letter of Article Nine should be interpreted in a relatively lenient manner.
Yoshida was no longer in power by the time the SDF became a major presence, but his “Yoshida Doctrine” – the delicate balance between enhanced military power and a peace-oriented strategy of trade expansion – remains at the core of Japanese foreign policy to this day.
