Hitoshi Imamura

Hitoshi Imamura was a Japanese general who, at the end of World War II, was prosecuted for war crimes committed by soldiers under his command against Allied prisoners in New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.

He was sentenced to ten years in prison, a relatively mild punishment compared to other military members because he was not accused of giving explicit orders for the mistreatment but rather failing to prevent it.

For the same reason, upon his release in 1954, he did something unusual: he donated all the proceeds from his memoirs to the relatives of the victims and built a replica of his prison cell in his backyard, where he secluded himself until his death in 1968.
