BTW, you may know that Mitsuo Fuchida, who led the attack on Pearl Harbor, became a born-again Christian and a missionary throughout Japan.

Thanks, I looked him up. I recall reading about a Japanese Christian, while dying of radiation poisoning from the a-bomb attack, converting other Japanese to Christianity. He explained that the suffering of innocence is what converts men's hearts. Nagasaki was Japan's largest Christian community. Much of its history is underground secrecy while remaining faithful to Christ, yet obedient to secular authority.
