You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

Takahashi was a self-described major of the [[Imperial Japanese Army]] and affiliate of the [[Black Dragon Society]]. According to [[FBI]] reports he was the instigator of the [[Pacific Movement of the Eastern World]], working through [[Ashima Takis]].<ref name="WaitTojo">((Cite web| author=Ernest Allen Jr.| url=http://www.umass.edu/afroam/downloads/allen.tojo.pdf| title=Waiting for Tojo: The Pro-Japan Vigil of Black Missourians, 1932-1943| accessdate=2006-09-23| date=Fall 1995| work=Gateway Heritage| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060513065118/http://www.umass.edu/afroam/downloads/allen.tojo.pdf| archive-date=2006-05-13))</ref>

== Background ==
When [[Ashima Takis|Mimo De Guzman]] was arrested by the FBI on July 30, 1942, he revealed that Takahashi was "a Japanese National" that was "the real power behind such groups as the [[Pacific Movement of the Eastern World]], the [[Onward Movement of America]] and the [[Ethiopian Pacific Movement]].<ref name="Turner">((cite book|last1=Turner|first1=Richard Brent|title=Islam in the African-American Experience|date=1997|publisher=Indiana University|isbn=0-253-34323-2|pages=[https://archive.org/details/islamintheaf_turn_2003_000_10461993/page/102 102]|url=https://archive.org/details/islamintheaf_turn_2003_000_10461993/page/102))</ref>

== Personal life ==
[[Elijah Muhammad]] was friends with Takahashi, and Takahashi's wife, [[Pearl Sherrod]] was formerly a member of the [[Nation of Islam]].<ref name="The Black Studies Reader">((cite book|last1=Bobo|first1=Jacqueline|last2=Hudley|first2=Cynthia|last3=Michel|first3=Claudine|title=The Black Studies Reader|date=2004|publisher=Routledge|isbn=0-203-49134-3|pages=458))</ref>

== Influence ==
In the 1940s [[Selective Service]] registrars noticed African Americans in Chicago, Detroit, and several other large cities were refusing to register under religious grounds and described themselves as Muslim. They also were not seeking an exemption as [[conscientious objector]]s. Around this same time the FBI was receiving reports that Japan was funding African American groups that were radical and wanted a racial revolution. In April 1942, the FBI used undercover officers to infiltrate a group.<ref name="JohnsonBook">((cite book|last1=Johnson|first1=Sylvester|author-link2=Steven P.

===Black Dragon society===
Through Takahashi, the Black Dragon society channeled financial aid to Black Muslim groups in the US.<ref>((Cite journal|last=Allen|first=Ernest|date=1994|title=When Japan Was "Champion of the Darker Races": Satokata Takahashi and the Flowering of Black Messianic Nationalism|url=http://www.jstor.org/stable/41068457|journal=The Black Scholar|volume=24|issue=1|pages=23–46|doi=10.1080/00064246.1994.11413118|jstor=41068457|issn=0006-4246))</ref>

===Society for the Development of Our Own===
Takahashi's Society for the Development of Our Own was a major organization in Black America responsible for the dissemination of pro-Japanese propaganda.<ref name="The Black Studies Reader"/> He recruited several thousand members to the Pan-Asian cause, most of them of African-American, Filipino, or East Asian descent. The "Five Guiding Principles" of the group were "Freedom, Justice, Equality, Liberty, and Honour."<ref>((Cite book|last=Evanzz|first=Karl|title=The Messenger: The Rise and Fall of Elijah Muhammad|publisher=Pantheon|year=1999|isbn=0-679-44260-X|location=New York|pages=105))</ref>

===Nation of Islam===
In 1939 the [[FBI]] charged that Nakane had been an influential presence in the Nation of Islam.<ref>((cite book|last1=Lowe|first1=Lisa|last2=Lloyd|first2=David|title=The Politics of Culture in the Shadow of Capital|publisher=Duke University Press|page=330))</ref> He spoke as a guest at the NOI temples in Detroit and Chicago. He also influenced [[Elijah Muhammad]]'s attitude towards the Japanese government. The FBI had a copy of a speech from 1933 where Mohammad proclaimed that the Japanese would kill the White man.

FBI informants noted that NOI's flag of a white crescent and white moon with a red background was similar to Japan's flag of a red sun with white rays on a red background. They also noted that the flag was similar to Turkey, whose population is mostly Muslim, and that the flag was similar to Soviet Union's whose flag is red with a single star and sickle.

Nakane was deported and moved to Canada. When he tried to return, he was charged with attempting to bribe an immigration officer and illegal entry. He received a 3-year sentence on this charge. Upon his release, he was interned for the duration of the war.<ref>((Cite news |date=1943-06-25 |title=Takahashi influence on Blacks in America |pages=4 |work=St. Louis Post-Dispatch |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/st-louis-post-dispatch-takahashi-influe/6864586/ |access-date=2023-12-16))</ref><ref>((Cite news |date=1942-08-03 |title=dodge steel shortage |pages=11 |work=Detroit Free Press |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/detroit-free-press-dodge-steel-shortage/4556594/ |access-date=2023-12-16))</ref>

In an interview with the FBI Elijah  Mohammad claimed he met Takahashi at a woman’s house, but could not recall who the woman was. He went there to pick up Brother Abdul Mohammad. Mohammad also claimed that Takahashi stayed at Abdul's house for several weeks because he was recovering from an illness. Additionally, Mohammad claimed that he and Takahashi discussed NOI and that Takahashi approved of his teachings.<ref name="JohnsonBook" />

The poster was of a map of the United States with Fard in the center, and was entitled "Calling the Four Winds." From each of the four directions there were guns that said "Asia" aimed at the US. Takahashi’s poster was almost identical, except Takahashi was in the center.  "Calling the Four Winds" is a speech written by Cheaber McIntyre, Takahashi's mistress.<ref name="JohnsonBook" />
