Tokyo Rose

Iva Toguri D'Aquino was born and raised in Los Angeles, even attending university in America. She went on a trip to Japan in order to care for her sick aunt, and wasn't able to return because of the attack on Pearl Harbor during her trip. She was trapped in a country that she didn't feel at home in, and was treated unkindly by the military and neighbors of her relatives, deemed an "enemy alien" because she was from the United States.

While in Japan, her family was put in internment camps, but Toguri was unaware because all of a sudden there was a lack of communication between them. She left Tokyo because she was denied a ration card, and stayed in a boarding house while working two jobs, one at a newspaper and another at a radio station.

She was offered the position to be the host of a radio show called "Zero Hour" which was broadcasted to American GI's in the southeast Asian islands and countries. The idea was to spread Japanese propaganda to these American men, but she didn't do much of that except calling the soldiers "boneheads." She never called herself Tokyo Rose, instead claiming the name Orphan Ann. Tokyo Rose is an identity the lonely American soldiers created, imagining what kind of exotic woman she could have been.

However, her real identity became public and she became a symbol of Japanese propaganda, while the US charged her with treason. In the end, she was sentenced to 10 years in prison and passed away in 2006, in Chicago.
