Tomoshige Tsunoda (津野田 知重, Tsunoda Tomoshige) was a major in the Imperial Japanese Military during World War II. He served in China under Prince Mikasa. As the war progressed, Tsunoda sought for the resignation of Prime Minister Hideki Tojo. He plotted to assassinate Tojo, but Tojo resigned before the assassination could be executed.[1] Tsunoda was arrested for his role in the plot. He admitted that he planned to kill Tojo, and launch a new cabinet under Prince Higashikuni.[2]
