Ryōichi Sasakawa (笹川良一 ''Sasakawa Ryōichi'') (1899–1995) was a Japanese businessman, fascist, organized crime figure, renowned shipbuilding, philanthropist and goodwill ambassador. After World War II he was held as a class A war criminal in Sugamo Prison with Yoshio Kodama, where the two established a long-term friendship. He is most famous for his ties to the Moonies and his boast of being "the world's richest fascist." Mr. Sasakawa has since made extensive contributions to world peace, especially in the area of disaster relief. As the founder of the United States-Japan Foundation, Sasakawa has been instrumental in many global efforts to promote the betterment of all the world's people. The Nippon Foundation, established by Sasakawa in August 1959 as the Japan Shipbuilding Industry Foundation, has expanded its mission to include service, including physical and cultural education and social welfare. Specifically, the support of the Nippon Foundation has been directed toward solving the world's medical and environmental problems. By cooperating on an ongoing basis with agencies of the United Nations, including the World Health Organization and UNICEF, this foundation has helped to make substantial progress on many worldwide fronts, including world famine relief, aid for refugees, support for various educational programs, allocations for pharmaceutical and medical equipment, and international campaigns to eradicate smallpox, leprosy, drug addiction and AIDS. He has also funded the expansion of Norman Borlaug's Green Revolution to Africa, creating the Sasakawa Africa Association to help stop rising famine in the continent. ==Source== *http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?r102:S08SE2-64: ==External links== *[http://www.voltairenetwork.net/article28.html Sasakawa, a Respected War Criminal] Fascists Japanese philanthropists
