No.5: Chapter 2 The Fiction Equating Comfort Women with Sex Slaves Spreads throughout the World
B. Tanaka Yuki’s Book Forms the Basis of US House Resolution
By Takahashi Shiro
July 20, 2016/

On July 7, 2007, the US House of Representatives passed House Resolution 121, which rebuked Japan’s stance towards the comfort women. The basis for the resolution was a report submitted to the House by Congressional Research Service staffer Larry Niksch, “Japanese Military’s ‘Comfort Women’ System,” on April 3 earlier in the year.
Prof. Takahashi reveals that the key source upon which the report based its “conclusion” was Tanaka Yuki’s book Japan’s Comfort Women, published by Routledge in 2002.
Tanaka Yuki, Tanaka Toshiyuki’s pseudonym, is a professor at Hiroshima City University. It appears that Professor Tanaka also uses the name Akasaka Masami when writing articles for an Australian audience.
Tanaka’s Japan’s Comfort Women cites research by Su Zhiliang, a professor at Shanghai Normal University. At the same time, Su’s English language book, Chinese Comfort Women, published by Oxford University Press in 2013, contains many references to the section of Tanaka Yuki’s book dealing with the “organizational structure of the comfort women system”. Evidently, Tanaka and Su have mutually reinforced each another.
Su estimates the number of comfort women as 400,000, which is based on unscientific assumptions. He is now attempting to have this ridiculous, baseless number entered into the UNESCO Memory of the World Register.
