Katsurai Nobuyuki, a powerful figure in Japan's political and business circles, has passed away. He had close ties to the political world and dedicated himself to Japan's key infrastructure projects, including the privatization of the national railway and the recent promotion of the Linear Shinkansen project. He was also close to politicians such as Abe Shinzo, effectively wielding influence in Japan for over a decade.
Katsurai was rarely considered a patriot. While the post-war Japanese business and political worlds were overflowing with individuals seeking only profit, he was said to have had a unique disposition, pursuing only national interests.
Katsurai's strategic prowess is evident in how he managed to sway even the most hardline Dongnodong (Power Car Labor Union) during the privatization of the national railway. Dongnodong was a subsidiary of the National Railway Workers Union, which had been at odds with management. However, Katsurai ultimately led them to align with the government agency, the Reconstruction Management Committee. This was a dramatic reversal, with Dongnodong taking the lead in signing a joint labor-management declaration.
The National Railway Workers Union protested, calling Dongnodong's change of heart a "betrayal." However, from Katsurai's perspective, drawing Dongnodong to the government's side was the most effective strategy to push for the division and privatization of the national railway.
Katsurai is also said to have been involved in the privatization of the postal service through administrative reform. He is also reported to have had ties to right-wing groups such as Nippon Kaigi. He prioritized Japan's economy and security and is said to have been unfazed by calls for nuclear armament. His unwavering pursuit of national interests seemed to have a certain dubious aspect.
In this way, Katsurai was a heavyweight and a powerful figure who sustained Japan's capitalist system. He was privy to the true dealings and internal affairs of the government and business world that were not officially recorded. Though he was a key figure in post-war Japan, it was unlikely that anyone would have initially predicted that he would become a conservative and a patriot.
