'The lead diplomat,an anti-militarist who was beaten and crippled by Hirohito's thugs in the 1930s, represented Japan for its Uncoditional Surrender. As he laboured up the ramp to the warship, no American serviceman helped him.' Written by an American journalist covering the war in the Pacific.
Interesting - though from what I can see Ono’s uncle wasn’t the lead diplomat.

No, he wasn't. He was a descendent of Japanese royalty and a prominent businessman.
