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.

abstract
  • 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. Kita was captured shortly after the attack. Many of his signals were subsequently reconstructed by the FBI. He was interned in Arizona for a time during the war. However, little else, including the date and circumstances of his death, has been recorded about Kita since the war.
