Kikutake Rokko - Six Drums

Japanese: 菊竹六鼓 - きくたけろっこ
Kikutake Rokko - Six Drums
Born January 25, 1880 in Fukuoka
[Died] July 21, 1937.
A staunch journalist who maintained an anti-military stance. His real name was Sunao. After graduating from Tokyo Senmon Gakko (the predecessor to Waseda University), he joined the Fukuoka Nichi Nichi Shimbun, a leading local newspaper affiliated with the Seiyukai Party, in 1903. He was mentored by the liberal editor-in-chief, Inomata Tameji, and eventually became editor-in-chief himself. Rokuko's name was particularly famous for his editorials during the May 15 Incident, which called for "the prime minister to fall in a violent attack" and "we urge the people to prepare themselves." His fierce criticism of military fascism led to threats and boycotts from the military and right-wing groups, including the Kurume Division, but he stubbornly refused to give in.

反軍の姿勢を貫いた硬骨のジャーナリスト。本名は淳 (すなお) 。東京専門学校 (早稲田大学の前身) を卒業して,1903年,政友会系の有力地方新聞であった『福岡日日新聞』に入社。自由主義者であった主筆の猪俣為治らの薫陶を受け,やがてみずから主筆となった。六鼓の名を特に高からしめたのは,五・一五事件の際にかかげた「首相兇手に斃る」「敢て国民の覚悟を促す」という社説で,その激しい軍部ファシズム批判のため,久留米師団をはじめとする軍部や右翼からの脅迫,不買運動などを招いたが,頑として屈しなかった。
