Believe it or not, General MacArthur is revered by the Japanese of that era. A downtown Tokyo is literally a MacArthur shrine with pictures in every room.

My dad got there just as the Occupation was closing (and the Korea war was opening up.) I lived there with my folks 1951-1961 and still have contacts some 58 years later.
