Hiroyoshi Iwanaga

Japanese: 岩永裕吉 - いわながゆうきち
Hiroyoshi Iwanaga

Owner of a news agency. Born in Tokyo. Older brother of writer Nagayo Yoshiro. Graduated from Kyoto Imperial University in 1909 (Meiji 42). Worked for the South Manchuria Railway for a time, but after publishing "Iwanaga Tsushin" in 1920 (Taisho 9), he became interested in the communications industry, and joined Kokusai Tsushin-sha in 1921 to help manage the company. Hoping to make Japan's news agencies independent, he dissolved Kokusai Tsushin-sha in 1926 and established the Japan Newspaper Association. After that, he signed equal contracts with the world's leading news agencies and worked hard to establish communications autonomy. In 1936 (Showa 11), he created the first nationally-represented news agency, Domei Tsushin-sha.
