This article is no more than a preliminary canter. The history and ramifications of Japanese intelligence systems, up to and including the second world war, would occupy several volumes of the official history published since 1966 under the auspices of the Defence Agency. No such volumes have appeared, nor are they likely to, and although a reasonably adequate history could be written from sources outside Japan, it would inevitably be full of gaps. Nonetheless, from information in archives, from interrogations and from published reminiscences, some kind of general overview of the reach of Japan's intelligence systems can be deduced. Some of the information (like that on the Nakano School) is embarrassingly complete (i.e. there's a lot to read); some is sketchy. This article tries, in a discursive way, to give an idea of some conspicuous elements in the story.l
