Masakatsu
Ota was a Fulbright Research Fellow from Japan, currently
an Adjunct Fellow for the Program on Global Security and Disarmament.
He is on leave from Kyodo News Service, where he is the chief
correspondent in the Takamatsu branch office. Mr. Ota has served
with Kyodo News Service since 1992, in the Hiroshima and Osaka
branch offices. His research has focused on historical perspectives
on the A-bomb drop on Hiroshima, including survivors and the controversy
surrounding the exhibition of "Enola Gay" by the Smithsonian.
He recently published his first book, called "Genealogy of Immunization."
The book examines covert dealings between the Japanese Government
and US occupation forces with respect to war crimes committed
by the ex-Japanese medical army when it secretly conducted human
testing on prisoners of war. Mr. Ota received his BA in International
Political Science from Waseda University.
