You don't believe it but its true. Look it up. They (John Pelzel a member of GHQ) even complained when they found out the literecy rates was high and told the guy who was responsible for setting up the Japanese litereacy test that it needed to show that it was low
Believe it or not Stalin even talked Mao out of romanizing the Chinese language also. Not quite sure why but its true. Look it up .

They tried to use the excuse that it would improve literacy rates. But when they conducted a nation wide literacy test on Kanji, the average student scored 90%.
So they couldnt use "muh literacy rates" as an excuse either
John Pelzel of GHQ, based on the prejudice that "Japanese has many kanji characters, which makes it difficult to remember, and the literacy rate is slow to increase, which is delaying democratization
In August 1948 , the Ministry of Education's Educational Training and Research Institute (now the National Institute for Educational Policy Research ) conducted Japan's first nationwide survey, the "Survey on Literacy Ability of the Japanese People," targeting approximately 17,000 people between the ages of 15 and 64. The results showed that only 2.1% of people were unable to read or write kanji, proving the high literacy rate of the Japanese people.
After the test, Shibata was summoned by Perzel, who indirectly warned him that the results needed to show a low literacy rate. Shibata rebuffed, insisting that the results could not be compromised.
Kanji still ended up being simplified in the end anyways and the writing system was changed despite there being no reason to do so.
So i managed to find pdf 's of these books but i can't fucking translate them because they are all in old Japanese . "Modern Japanese" that was only invented in 1946 is an invention of the Allied powers so that people can't read anything Japs were saying from before the end of ww2 .
The main excuse that was used was that its to increase the literacy rates, except Japan already had a near 100% literacy rate.
CCP also "simplified" Chinese writing so that Chinese can't read their old books either. The Allied powers allied with commies and behaved like commies, when they "simplified" someone else's writing system.
The last time the Japanese language went through some major changes was 1868 in the Meiji restoration. And i've heard some Japs say that jews funded the Meiji restoration.
In both 1868 and 1956 situations, they tried to convert Japanese writing to latin (romanji) writing. Thankfully it never caught on though
Ideological warfare and International Secret societies
This is how its described by the people who reprinted this book.
Published in 1942 by the head of the Mainichi Shimbun's censorship department, this book was cutting-edge for Japan at the time, covering topics like espionage, Jewish conspiracies, and the story of Sorge. However, these topics were extremely inconvenient for Jewish capitalists, and after the war, GHQ banned the book from being available.
However, in order to convey the truth GHQ wanted to hide to as many people as possible, we decided to embark on a reprint project for "Ideological Warfare and International Secret Societies."
Reading this book will help you understand how Japanese people perceived international financiers and foreign spies after the outbreak of war between Japan and the United States, a topic that is rarely discussed by postwar Japanese people.
FYI Mainichi Shimbun is the oldest newspaper in Japan.
The JQ gets dropped here and there occasionally in manga and anime stories which is why it's important to keep Japanese authors and not have foreigners write manga cause I doubt foreigners would drop the JQ like that.
Well after this director was "exposed as an antisemite"(mainly when some Western people combed his twitter account and found he had some old posts questioning the holocaust and saying some positive things about nazis) , he was rebuked by one of the anime studios that had hired him(he's a free lancer not really tied down to any one company) and and he also wasn't hired by any anime studios anymore despite being a veteran in the anime industry and being involved in the creation of quite a few famous animes. . You tell me what that means.
