Tatsuo Osako (大迫辰雄), of Chiba, Japan was a citizen of the Japanese Empire during World War II who is most notable for transporting Jews to safety. He was responsible for transporting over 2,000 Jews from German-occupied counties, and ship them safely elsewhere. These refugees had transit visas issued by Chiune Sugihara, who is often referred to as the Japanese Schindler.[1]
