The Imperial Japanese Army Killed Millions of People Throughout Asia (Including Westerners) - and Were Ordered by Their Officers - 'To Have Fun!' - Whilst Doing It!
Author's Note: Despite the appalling atrocities committed throughout Asia between 1931-1945 (for which modern Japan has neither acknowledged nor apologised for) - there exists in China a general attitude of 'respect' for legitimate (that is 'ancient') Japanese martial arts, primarily because most of these are of 'Chinese' cultural origin. On the other hand, there is a scathing disrespect for a small number of 'fake' martial arts that are premised upon Japanese 'nationalism' and pursue a path of Japanese racism! A high-ranking Goju Ryu practitioner in the UK forwarded a Western article regarding a supposed 'Chinese' martial artist who voluntarily joined the Japanese in Okinawa - when the Japanese Imperial Army was murdering hundreds of thousands of people across the seas - primarily because of their 'Chinese' ethnicity! I consider this article 'racist' and deliberately 'anti-Chinese' and I logically prove why my assertion is 'correct'! My following email 'clarifies' why I think the story of Wu Xiangui [伍賢貴] - Go Ken Ki [呉賢貴](1886-1940) is 'fake' and a product of 'Japanese', 'US' or a 'combination of both Intelligence services! There were 'Chinese' people fighting in the Japanese Imperial Army - but they were from the Japanese colony of Taiwan. No Mainland Chinese person in their right-mind, particularly after witnessing the brutality of the Japanese and what they would have done to their own family and friends - would have voluntarily travelled to Okinawa and actively collaborate with the Japanese Authorities! Of course, such a person could have been a 'turn-coat' and chosen to have sided with the invading Japanese in China, but even so, there is absolutely no reliable or objective Chinese language historical reference that would 'prove' their existence!

Japanese Imperial Soldiers Were Told to 'Enjoy Themselves' Whilst Murdering Chinese People!
Hi Tony!
Wu Xiangui [伍賢貴] (1886-1940)'

Your Western author is getting his information from the Chinese language Wikipedia page which I have linked above in its automated English translation. This Chinese language (Zh) is produced in the US and Taiwan (and is anti-Chinese - often perpetuating 'fake' and 'false' stories, data and misleading information). China has its own encyclopaedias and therefore Wikipedia is 'banned' due to its racism and general inaccuracy. I suspect your author simply auto-translates into his own language and then re-translates that into 'English' (I have come across this with Dutch people). However, the reference given for the data is this entry is this:
'「剛柔流に光をし込んだ漢、呉賢貴とは誰なんだ？」，《空手道》月刊，2004年1月號特集。'
'"Goju Ryu - Bathed in Light By a Chinese Person (Han) - Go Ken Ki - Who Is He?", "Karate-Do" Monthly Publication - January 2004 - Special Feature.'
I can find no mention of such a person in Chinese language sources. The problem is that these three ideograms used to spell his name - '呉賢貴 - may look 'Chinese' but they are not - they are 'Japanese' phonetical representations. This is similar to the situation regarding 'Ru Ru Ko' and the seemingly 'Chinese' name that result which is not a proper 'Chinese' name.

The Japanese Imperial Army 'Having Fun' in China!
呉 = Kure (Go) - but can stand for the Chinese surname 'Wu' (伍) - which actually refers to a group of 'five soldiers' - a unit in an ancient Chinese army. The name of Chinese Chess 'Wu' - termed 'Go' in Japanese. Indeed, conveniently carries the term 'martial' and could be 'fake' - as in 'made-up' by Japanese forces. A recent (and similar) incident can be read here:(https://thesanghakommune.org/2022/07/25/nanjing-japanese-war-criminals-eulogised-at-local-buddhist-temple-22-7-2022/)
賢 = Gen (Ken) - intelligent, clever, quick-witted and sagely - Chinese is '賢' (Xian) meaning virtuous, good, clever, wise and worthy.
貴 = Ki - Expensive, Esteem, costly and superior - Chinese is '貴' (Gui) meaning valuable, costly and valuable.
Therefore, the Chinese name of this person would read in Chinese as '伍賢貴' and his name would be properly pronounced as 'Wu Xiangui [伍賢貴] (1886-1940)'. Having fed this through the hundreds of encyclopaedias, journals and articles available on the Chinese language internet - the result is 'zero' returns. This would suggest that this is a fake story - but more research is needed. Generally speaking, even traitors to China are carefully and fully listed so that we all know who they are - so it is unusual to find 'zero'. Chinese Wiki is the US view of China and not the Chinese view of China. I would like to know where the magazine was published which is the only reference for this entire story!
Thanks
