Nagao Kita was Japanese Consul-General in Hawaii. He received instructions on March 22, 1941 to gather information about the schedule of the American fleet at Pearl Harbor, by bribery, if necessary. These instructions were intercepted by U.S. intelligence but did not raise alarms. Kita's vice-counsel was known publicly as "Tadashi Morimura". In reality, Morimura was Takeo Yoshikawa, who did a very thorough job of gathering information for the eventual attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
