The Free Japan movement dates back to February 1944, when a report from Yenan announced the arrival of Susumu Okano, a member of the Japanese Communist Party. A Free Japan Committee, officially named the Japanese People's Liberation Alliance, was active in Yenan.[1]
In November 7, 1944, John K. Emmerson proposed the use of a "free Japan" movement in the war against Japan.[2]
