====At the age of 15, I was accepted into the Army Cadet School in 1899. I wanted to follow my father's steps. In the month of May, 1905, I had completed the courses available there. After this, I was commissioned a second lieutenant in the infantry. A few years late, 1909, I married a woman named Katsuka Ito. We had three sons and four daughters. Later in 1912, I had been accepted into the Army Staff College. I had completed the program in three years and was promoted to the rank of captain and commanding officer of the 3rd Imperial Guard. Eventually, on March 18, 1933, I was promoted to major general.====

====On December 35, I was promoted to lieutenant general, later Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army. I led led units of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade during the operation Charhar in 1937. When I returned to Japan in 1938, I was promoted yet again to Vice War Minister and Chief of Army Aviation just under War Minister Seishiro Itagaki. As head of the aviation program, I took on a more aggressive strategy in the war, launching preemptive attacks.====

====On October 16, 1941, Konoe resigned from his position of Prime Minister. Tomorrow, the Emperor summoned me. I thought he was upset about my opinions. I was far from correct. He showed my around the Imperial Palace, and the next day gave me the position of Prime Minister. I was the 40th official Prime Minister. Over my days of Prime Minister, I gradually placed myself in direct charge of the Military. Eventually, I gained dictatorial power. This however came to an end as Japan lost Saipan of the Mariana Islands. With Japan's surrendered, I attempted suicide by shooting myself in the chest. I survived since I had missed the shot to the heart.====
