Hiroyasu Koga (Japanese: 古賀浩靖 Koga Hiroyasu, born 15 August 1947) is a former Tatenokai member and kaishakunin responsible for the decapitations of Yukio Mishima and Masakatsu Morita during their seppuku on November 25, 1970. He studied law at Kanagawa University and intended to become a lawyer.

Key Information

Koga, known by the nickname Furu-Koga (distinguishing him from another Tatenokai member named Masayoshi Koga who was in turn nicknamed Chibi-Koga, 小賀), was a skilled practitioner of kendo (swordsmanship). It was originally planned that Mishima would be decapitated by Masakatsu Morita, the Tatenokai's student leader; however, Morita was not trained in the sword and failed, at which point Koga stepped in to complete it. Koga then decapitated Morita as part of Morita's own seppuku.[1]

Koga and two other participating Tatenokai members (Masayoshi Koga and Masahiro Ogawa) went on trial on March 24, 1971,[2] facing charges of bodily injury, violence, illegal possession of firearms and swords,[3] and assisting a suicide.[4] They were convicted and sentenced to four years' penal servitude, and were released in 1974, a few months early.[5]

As of 2005, it was believed that he was a practising Shinto priest at a shrine on Shikoku.[6] However, an alternative belief is that he never became a Shinto priest, instead becoming the head of the Hokkaido branch of Seicho-no-Ie and was renamed Hiroyasu Arechi. It is further posited that he now resides in Kumamoto.[7]

Hiroyasu Koga (born August 15, 1947) is a Japanese nationalist and former member of Yukio Mishima's private militia, the (Shield Society), most notable for acting as —the assistant who performs the decapitation in ritual —for both Mishima and fellow Tatenokai activist during their suicides on November 25, 1970, following a failed coup attempt at the in . A 23-year-old Kanagawa University student and skilled practitioner at the time, Koga stepped in to complete the decapitations after Morita's unsuccessful attempts, an act rooted in traditional protocol amid Mishima's protest against 's postwar constitution and perceived erosion of values. The incident, involving the seizure of the base's and a harangue to troops that met with jeers, shocked and the world, elevating Koga's role to a defining, if peripheral, element of Mishima's dramatic final statement on and emperor reverence. Along with two other Tatenokai survivors, Masayoshi Koga and Masahiro Ogawa, Hiroyasu Koga faced trial for "killing by request" () and illegal confinement of the commandant, receiving a four-year sentence in 1971, though the convictions reflected legal tensions over ritual suicide's status in modern rather than outright . After his release, Koga retreated from public life, reportedly leading a branch in —his native region—and later pursuing roles including priesthood on island, while maintaining a low profile amid ongoing interest in Mishima's legacy.

Early Life and Education

Birth and Upbringing

Hiroyasu Koga was born on August 15, 1947, in , . He grew up in this northern region, known for its severe winters, expansive rural terrain, and historical ties to industries such as . Koga's early environment in shaped his formative years before he relocated southward for higher education.

University Years

Koga graduated from West High School in March 1966 and subsequently enrolled in the Faculty of Law at Kanagawa University, drawn by the presence of professors who advocated for constitutional revision amid his growing concerns over Japan's political and cultural trajectory. During his time there, he attended lectures from a professor specializing in German law, reflecting the institution's influences. Questioning the erosion of traditional under the post-war constitution, Koga co-founded the Japan Culture Research Society with fellow students to study the nation's foundational principles and source traditions, eventually serving as secretary-general of a national federation of similar student groups. He also honed his skills in , achieving championship level, which later informed his role in martial training activities. Koga graduated from Kanagawa University in March 1970, by which point he had developed aspirations to become a , aligning with his legal studies and interest in constitutional matters. As a former university student at the time of the Mishima incident later that year, his academic background underscored a focus on intertwined with nationalist critiques of modern .

Involvement with the Tatenokai

Joining the Shield Society

Hiroyasu Koga joined the (Shield Society), the private militia established by on October 5, 1968, comprising approximately 100 university students committed to reviving spirit, physical discipline, and unwavering loyalty to the amid perceived national moral decay. The group recruited volunteers primarily through Mishima's public lectures, personal networks, and appeals to right-leaning student associations, emphasizing voluntary enlistment for ideological alignment rather than coercion. New members swore blood oaths pledging defense of Japan against and constitutional , followed by intensive training in , rifle handling, and survival exercises often hosted at facilities. As a second-generation recruit—part of the expansion beyond the initial core from —Koga, then a law student, integrated into the society's structured teams, demonstrating sufficient proficiency in to later perform kaishakunin (decapitation assistant) duties. His entry reflected the Tatenokai's aim to cultivate elite youth guardians, with members like Koga undergoing regular weekend drills and ideological sessions to counter leftist campus dominance and foster sacrificial resolve. By 1970, at age 23, Koga's standing within the group underscored his early commitment, positioning him among the select cadre Mishima chose for high-stakes actions.

Roles and Training

Hiroyasu Koga joined the as a member of its second cohort in 1969 while studying law at Kanagawa University. From spring 1969, he assumed the role of of the organization's 5th squad, serving under squad leader Masayoshi Oga, which involved assisting in squad organization, discipline enforcement, and coordination of unit activities aligned with the group's structure. In this capacity, Koga helped lead fellow members in upholding the Tatenokai's commitment to traditional , emperor veneration, and preparedness against perceived national threats, as envisioned by founder . As , Koga participated in the Tatenokai's demanding training program, which emphasized physical conditioning and martial discipline to foster principles among volunteers. The regimen incorporated practice for swordsmanship proficiency, to build endurance, and outdoor exercises simulating military scenarios, such as divided-team drills involving simulated kidnappings of command figures. Members endured these sessions without complaint, as noted in Mishima's writings, to prepare for potential defense roles. The secured rare authorization for joint training at facilities, allowing Koga and others access to professional military instruction, equipment handling, and tactical exercises unavailable to typical civilians. Koga's personal expertise as a champion enhanced his contributions to sword-related drills, positioning him as a reliable figure for advanced techniques within the squad. This training culminated in heightened readiness by 1970, though it remained focused on ideological and physical fortitude rather than operational combat deployment.

The Mishima Incident

Prelude and Planning

Mishima confided the coup plan to a small cadre of trusted members, including Hiroyasu Koga, Masahiro Ogawa, and Masayoshi Koga, starting in September 1970, while keeping the broader membership of approximately 90 uninformed. The objective was to seize control of the Camp headquarters of the Ground Self-Defense Force's Eastern Command, bind General Kanetoshi Mashita, and deliver a pre-written speech from the balcony to rally approximately 800 troops into revolt against Article 9 of the Constitution, which renounced war and limited military capabilities, with the ultimate aim of reinstating imperial sovereignty. Preparations emphasized secrecy and ritualistic elements, conducted over several weeks in discreet locations such as a bathhouse, where Mishima finalized logistics with the four selected cadets—Koga, Morita, Ogawa, and Masayoshi Koga—who donned Self-Defense Force uniforms and concealed tantō daggers and swords beneath overcoats. The group entered the base on November 25 under the pretext of a private ceremony to present equipment or ceremonial swords, a ruse leveraging Mishima's status as an honorary cadet to gain access to Mashita's office without immediate suspicion. Koga's involvement centered on his demonstrated sword proficiency from Tatenokai training, positioning him as a contingency for kaishakunin duties in the event of seppuku following a failed incitement, though primary responsibility was initially assigned to Masakatsu Morita, whose limited skill was a known risk mitigated by Koga's presence. This reflected Mishima's year-long anticipation of ritual death as intertwined with the political action, with participants like Koga expressing ideological commitment to national revival amid confessions of foreknowledge.

Events of November 25, 1970

On November 25, 1970, Yukio Mishima, accompanied by four Tatenokai members—Masakatsu Morita, Masahiro Ogawa, Masayoshi Koga, and Hiroyasu Koga—drove to the Ichigaya Camp headquarters of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force's Eastern Command in central Tokyo. Arriving around 10:45 a.m. and dressed in Tatenokai uniforms, the group requested a meeting with Commandant Lieutenant General Kanetoshi Mashita under the pretext of discussing cadet training. Hiroyasu Koga, a 23-year-old Kanagawa University student and Tatenokai member, participated alongside his brother Masayoshi and the others in the initial approach. At approximately 11:15 a.m., once admitted to Mashita's office, Mishima and the four members suddenly drew swords and knives, seizing the commandant, binding and gagging him, and barricading the door after repelling his aides who attempted to intervene. The group, including Koga, guarded the room while Mishima demanded that Mashita use the to assemble the troops in the parade ground below for what was presented as an important announcement. Mashita complied under duress, drawing over 1,000 Self-Defense Force personnel to the courtyard. Around 12:15 p.m., Mishima climbed onto a overlooking the assembled troops and delivered a 10-minute harangue, urging them to rise against the post-war , restore the Emperor's divine sovereignty, and reinstate traditional values by overthrowing the civilian government. The speech failed to incite support; instead, the soldiers responded with jeers, laughter, and chants mocking Mishima, shattering any hope of a coup as radios blared game commentary in the background. The members, including Hiroyasu Koga, stood by during the address but witnessed the decisive rejection, which prompted the group's withdrawal back into the office around 12:30 p.m. Faced with the coup's collapse, Mishima and Morita resolved to commit ritual inside the office, with the remaining members—Ogawa, Masayoshi Koga, and Hiroyasu Koga—preparing to assist in the role to end their suffering. The events unfolded rapidly thereafter, culminating in the deaths of Mishima and Morita by approximately 12:40 p.m., after which the surviving members surrendered to arriving authorities.

Performance of Kaishakunin Duties

Following Yukio Mishima's incision into his abdomen with a on November 25, 1970, , designated as his , attempted to decapitate him using a but failed after multiple swings, reportedly due to emotional distress and technical difficulty in executing the precise strike. , a 23-year-old member and former champion skilled in sword handling, then intervened, grasping the same blade and delivering a clean, effective decapitation that severed Mishima's head from the body, thereby fulfilling the kaishakunin role to minimize prolonged suffering as per traditional protocol. Morita subsequently performed his own seppuku by stabbing his abdomen, after which Koga again assumed the kaishakunin duty without hesitation, cleanly beheading Morita in a single, competent stroke that completed the ritual sequence. Koga's executions were noted for their precision and efficacy, attributes likely attributable to his kendo expertise, which provided familiarity with edged weapons and controlled strikes, in contrast to Morita's unsuccessful attempts on Mishima. These actions occurred in the office of the Eastern Command headquarters of the , amid the aftermath of the failed coup attempt, with Koga and two other members as the only witnesses.

Arrest and Charges

Following the failed coup attempt and suicides at the Eastern Command headquarters on November 25, 1970, Hiroyasu Koga was arrested along with the other two surviving members, Masayoshi Koga and Masahiro Ogawa, by military personnel and police present at the scene. The arrests occurred amid the chaos following Yukio Mishima's and Masakatsu Morita's ritual , for which Koga had performed the decapitations. The Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office indicted the three men in December 1970 on multiple charges, including killing by request—for Koga's role in beheading Mishima and Morita as part of their —illegal confinement of the commandant's office, and additional offenses such as violence and unlawful possession of swords and firearms. These charges stemmed from the group's armed intrusion, hostage-taking of General Kanetoshi Mashita, and the subsequent ritual deaths, which authorities classified under five criminal counts rather than or due to the absence of broader support for the coup.

Trial and Sentencing

Koga Hiroyasu, along with members Masayoshi Oga and Masahiro Ogawa, faced trial in the starting on March 24, 1971, for their roles in the Mishima Incident. The proceedings addressed charges stemming from the occupation of the base, including assault on JSDF personnel, confinement causing injury, violation of the Violent Acts Punishment Law, coercion of official duties, and entrusted murder related to Koga's execution of duties for Mishima and Morita. Prosecutors argued the decapitations constituted murder despite the ritual context, as Japanese law treats as a criminal act when performed at the victim's request. The trial spanned over a year, culminating in the 18th and final hearing on April 27, 1972. Koga and his co-defendants were convicted on all counts and each sentenced to four years' imprisonment, without suspension. The viewed the incident as an attempted against the state, rejecting defenses rooted in tradition or loyalty to Mishima, though Koga maintained during testimony that his actions fulfilled a sacred duty under ethics. No appeals were noted in records, and the sentences were upheld as real terms, reflecting the gravity of politically motivated violence in post-war .

Prison Experience and Release

Koga, along with Masayoshi Koga and Masahiro Ogawa, was sentenced to four years' on April 28, 1972, for charges including assisting in suicides described as " by agreement," illegal confinement, and violation of laws on violence and weapons. The trio immediately began serving their terms in Japanese penal institutions, where conditions involved structured daily routines of manual labor, discipline, and limited personal freedoms typical of the postwar correctional system. Specific personal accounts from Koga about his incarceration remain unavailable, as he has consistently avoided public discussion of the period, focusing instead on silence regarding the Mishima incident after testifying in court. He was granted in October 1974 after serving roughly two years, allowing his transition out of custody.

Post-Release Life

Leadership in Hokkaido

Following his release from prison around 1975, Hiroyasu Koga returned to , the northern Japanese island where he was born on August 15, 1947, and assumed leadership of the local branch of Seicho-no-Ie, a religious organization founded in 1930 that promotes spiritual growth through positive confession and syncretic elements of Shintoism, Buddhism, and Christianity. In this role, Koga directed branch activities focused on teachings of personal enlightenment and national spiritual revival, aligning with the group's emphasis on affirming divine perfection in all things. Koga's integration into Seicho-no-Ie deepened through marriage to the daughter of the organization's leader, which facilitated his adoption into the family and a to Hiroyasu Arechi, solidifying his authority within the chapter. He led the branch for several decades, countering earlier misconceptions that portrayed him as a priest by instead channeling his post-incident experiences into administrative and inspirational duties within this syncretic faith. Koga retired from the position in 2012 and relocated to on , marking the end of his direct leadership in .

Transition to Shinto Priesthood

Following his release from prison in 1974, Koga Hiroyasu pursued formal training in Shinto practices, enrolling at in to study the religion's doctrines and rituals. This period of study reflected a shift toward spiritual and traditionalist pursuits, aligning with the nationalist ideals he had embraced through the . He resided in a apartment during this time, dedicating himself to acquiring the necessary qualifications for priesthood. Subsequently, Koga obtained certification as a kannushi (Shinto priest) at Tsurumi Shrine in , enabling him to perform official rites. In this capacity, he organized annual memorial services for and , initially collaborating with fellow survivors Masayoshi Koga and Masahiro Ogawa. These gatherings evolved into focal points for former members, fostering continuity of the group's reverence for traditional amid postwar societal shifts. Reports on Koga's long-term priestly role vary; while some accounts place him at shrines in regions like or Kanagawa into the 2000s, others suggest deeper involvement with the Seicho no Ie—linked to his family background—potentially leading to a and in its Hokkaido branch, though primary evidence for the latter remains anecdotal and unverified across sources. This divergence highlights inconsistencies in post-release tracking, with traditional Shinto training confirmed but ongoing practice subject to interpretive differences in secondary narratives.

Personal Life and Family

Koga was born on August 15, 1947, in Takigawa, , to a family involved in the Seicho-no-Ie religious movement; his father, a former elementary school principal, served as a lecturer for the organization. After his in October 1974 and return to , he integrated further into Seicho-no-Ie circles, assuming leadership roles in its district. In March 1980, he married Kayoko, the eldest daughter of Kiyokazu Taniguchi, a prominent figure in the movement's branch, and was adopted into her family, changing his surname to Arechi Hiroyasu to reflect this union. This marriage marked his deepening commitment to the group's teachings on spiritual renewal and national tradition, aligning with his post-incarceration path toward religious vocation. No public records detail children, though reports suggest he maintained a private family life centered in .

Writings and Philosophical Views

Authored Works

Hiroyasu Koga has not published any major standalone books, with his written output consisting primarily of contributions to anthologies and collections focused on the 1970 Mishima incident and related themes of Japanese tradition and nationalism. These include essays in multi-author volumes commemorating Yukio Mishima's life and actions, such as a contribution to a special edition featuring writings by figures associated with Mishima, including保田與十郎 and others. Such pieces reflect his firsthand perspective as the kaishakunin but remain ancillary to broader works rather than primary authored texts. No evidence exists of extensive literary or philosophical treatises under his name, with his ideas more commonly conveyed through interviews and oral accounts.

Perspectives on Nationalism and Tradition

Koga, as a founding member of Yukio Mishima's militia established in 1968, advocated for the revival of pre-war rooted in ethics, samurai discipline, and unwavering loyalty to the as a divine figure. The group's training regimen, which included and spiritual exercises, emphasized rejecting post-World War II under Article 9 of the Constitution and resisting Western materialism's erosion of indigenous . His role in performing during the 1970 incident exemplified this commitment to ritualized honor and sacrificial nationalism, viewing such acts as affirmations of historical continuity over modern democratic norms. Post-incident, Koga articulated a linking personal existence to collective heritage, stating that "to live as Japanese is to live the ," which posits as an unbroken chain of ancestral duties and cultural imperatives rather than individualistic pursuits. This perspective critiqued contemporary Japan's economic focus as a dilution of martial and spiritual vigor, aligning with Tatenokai's broader critique of leftist influences and constitutional constraints on forces. Upon assuming informal leadership of remnants after Mishima's death, Koga sustained efforts to propagate these ideals through gatherings and writings, later integrating them into his Shinto priesthood by promoting worship and rituals as bulwarks against . His transition reflected a conviction that tradition's survival demands active preservation amid , prioritizing empirical continuity of rites—such as those at Ise Shrine—over abstract ideological imports.

Legacy and Reception

Historical Significance

Hiroyasu Koga's primary historical significance derives from his role as in the ritual suicides of and on November 25, 1970, at the military base in , marking the culmination of Mishima's failed attempt to incite a coup against Japan's . As the designated second, Koga performed the decapitations after both men had attempted , an act that positioned him as the last documented practitioner of this samurai-era tradition in modern history, blending ancient codes with 20th-century political extremism. This event, known as the Mishima Incident, highlighted tensions between ultranationalist aspirations for imperial restoration and Japan's pacifist democratic order, with Koga's participation exemplifying the militia's willingness to enact ritual violence in pursuit of those ideals. Koga's subsequent trial and four-year imprisonment for "murder by agreement" further underscored the incident's legal and cultural ramifications, as his courtroom statements reflected a rejection of the 1947 Constitution—drafted under U.S. occupation—as alien to Japan's spiritual essence, warning that the nation risked "forever forgetting her own soul" without reclamation of traditional values. Released in 1974, his leadership of the Tatenokai's Hokkaido branch and eventual ordination as a Shinto priest represented a pivot from militant activism to cultural preservation, where he reportedly convened surviving members to sustain nationalist discourse amid the group's broader dissolution. This trajectory illustrates the marginalization of overt ultranationalism in post-war Japan, yet Koga's endurance as a living participant provided continuity for Mishima's legacy, influencing niche discussions on tradition versus modernity without sparking wider revivalist movements. In broader terms, Koga embodies the intersection of literary and extremism in Japan's Showa era, serving as a foil to Mishima's martyrdom by surviving to embody subdued traditionalism through priesthood rather than spectacle. His actions, while peripheral to mainstream , contribute to understandings of how fringe commitments to emperor-centric persisted against , though shows no measurable impact on policy or public sentiment beyond symbolic notoriety.

Criticisms and Defenses

Koga's role in the Mishima Incident has drawn criticism for enabling what courts deemed criminal acts, including the illegal confinement and assault of General Kanetoshi Mashita, whom Tatenokai members bound and held during Yukio Mishima's failed attempt to incite a coup on , 1970. Along with Masayoshi Koga and Masahiro Ogawa, Hiroyasu Koga was convicted in 1972 of "murder by request," violence under Japan's Violence Punishment Law, and weapons violations, receiving a four-year prison sentence, reflecting judicial rejection of claims that the beheadings constituted ritual kaishaku rather than . Contemporary public sentiment largely viewed the event negatively; a poll cited only 3.9 percent of respondents as seeing Mishima's —and by extension participants' actions—as embodying the "beauty of the spirit," with most labeling it a "wasteful way to die." Critics have further condemned Koga's involvement as emblematic of ultranationalist fanaticism, arguing that the Tatenokai's training and the incident's violence undermined democratic institutions and echoed prewar , especially amid Japan's pacifist . The failed attempt, involving threats to troops and in a military office, was portrayed in media as theatrical rather than principled against perceived national spiritual erosion. Defenders, including Koga himself during the 1971 trial, portrayed his actions as a dutiful preservation of 's traditional soul, stating that without such resolve, " might forever forget her own soul," framing the kaishaku as adherence to ethics amid modern decay. As a former champion, Koga's precise execution—leaving a strip of skin intact per historical convention—has been cited by sympathizers in nationalist circles as demonstrating disciplined loyalty rather than mere violence, positioning him as the 20th century's final upholding amid botched attempts by others. His post-release trajectory, leading Tatenokai remnants in before studying Shintoism and becoming a , has been invoked to counter charges, illustrating personal redemption and societal reintegration without further militancy.
