Page "Kempeitai" Paragraph 6

The Kempeitai's brutality was particularly notorious in Korea and the other occupied territories.

The Kempeitai were abhorred in Japan's mainland, too, especially during World War II when Prime Minister Hideki Tōjō, formerly the Commander of the Kempeitai of the Japanese Army in Manchuria from 1935 to 1937, used the Kempeitai extensively to make sure that everyone was loyal to the war.
