In pre-war Japan, the popularity of Mickey Mouse, Popeye, and Betty Boop was so strong that not only pirated cartoons and goods were produced, but even as the military color became stronger, there were New Year's cards with Mickey on a Japanese tank, and goods with Mickey and Popeye dressed in Japanese military uniforms were proudly displayed.

During the retreat from Kiska Island, the local Japanese troops booby-trapped many places, and this is one of them. One of the booby traps was this: an anti-tank mine was planted near the wheel of a gun, and a block of picric acid was buried further down the mine.

In 1932, the 19th Tsuruga Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army stationed in Tianjin stood guard with a Type 11 light machine gun, setting up ladders in a sorghum field.
