Before the Pearl Harbour attacks, for most in the West, Japan was of little consequence but by 1942 we had been fighting China in a war for 7 years and when hundreds of Chinese found the skin on their faces turning black and their bones crumbling, they knew they had been a victim of a certain Japanese scientist named, well...me.
I was a big advocate of biological warfare and while WW1 wasn't much fun for many people, it fascinated me and when i was made a military surgeon for the Imperial Japanese Army, i toured the West for two years collecting information for the creation of a Japanese bio-weapons program and was put in charge of Unit 731, the biological weapons team.
Just as you can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs, you can't experiment on the effects of biological weapons without breaking some humans and after the deaths of 10,000 Chinese Civilians and Prisoners of War, i got pretty good at it.
On my command, we encased bubonic plague, cholera, smallpox, botulism, anthrax and other nasty diseases into bombs which were dropped on Chinese combatants and non-combatants but after Pearl Harbour and the introduction of the United States into the War, the Commanders came to me to ask if i had any plans to help kill as many Americans as possible.
As it turned out i did have some but the first idea of dropping 150 million plague infested fleas on American troops in the Philippines stalled when America surrendered before we had chance to load the plague bombs on the planes.  
Undeterred, during the Battle of Iwo Jima, i planned another biological attack using gliders full of an unhealthy mix of diseases to be dropped on American troops but the gliders crashed on their way to the airfield so i decided to not faff around anymore and go straight to infecting America the country.
I called the plan Operation 'Cherry Blossoms at Night' which entailed launching 9,300 incendiary and antipersonnel bombs laden with millions of plague contaminated fleas carried by balloons which would be swept eastward by the jet stream.
The few experimental ones we released were successful, six Americans died in Oregon from them, but the Government decided that submarines delivering the payload would be more successful but they had to build them first but they took so long that by the time we were ready Japan had surrendered and the Americans confiscated the subs.  
I destroyed my labs and released the cages full of plague-bearing rats into the Chinese countryside causing an epidemic that killed 20,000 people but i was just in a hurry to get back to Japan but the Americans were waiting for me.
Now you would think that being responsible for the deaths of half a million people and planning to kill even more in their country would mean the Americans would do all sorts of things to me, well they did, they gave me full immunity in exchange for all my bioweapons research for their own biological warfare program.
They even gave me a nice place to live in Maryland so i could advise on the bio-weapons for a few years and then i went back to live in Japan where Karma came knocking in its full, beautiful splendour and i died of throat cancer in a warm, comfortable hospital bed aged 67.
I can only assume those hundreds of thousands i was responsible for killing deserved it, go figure.
