After Japan's defeat in World War II, the country was occupied by the U.S.-led Allied Powers. At the urging of the occupation authorities, many people who held important posts in various fields were purged from public office. The media and publishing industry were also censored, and were not allowed to engage in forms of expression reminiscent of wartime Japanese nationalism. [f] In addition, literary figures, including many of those who had been close to Mishima before the end of the war, were branded "war criminal literary figures". Some people denounced them and converted to left-wing politics, whom Mishima criticized as "opportunists" in his letters to friends. [68] [69] [70] Some prominent literary figures became leftists, and joined the Communist Party as a reaction against wartime militarism and writing socialist realist literature that might support the cause of socialist revolution. [71] Their influence had increased in the Japanese literary world following the end of the war, which Mishima found difficult to accept. Although Mishima was just 20 years old at this time, he worried that his type of literature, based on the 1930s Japanese Romantic School ( 日本浪曼派, "Nihon Rōman Ha"), had already become obsolete.

Kimitake Hiraoka ( 平岡公威, Hiraoka Kimitake), later known as Yukio Mishima ( 三島由紀夫, Mishima Yukio), was born in Nagazumi-cho, Yotsuya-ku of Tokyo City (now part of Yotsuya, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo). He chose his pen name when he was 16. [18] His father was Azusa Hiraoka ( 平岡梓), a government official in the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, [19] and his mother, Shizue ( 平岡倭文重), was the daughter of the 5th principal of the Kaisei Academy. Shizue's father, Kenzō Hashi ( 橋健三), was a scholar of the Chinese classics, and the Hashi family had served the Maeda clan for generations in Kaga Domain. Mishima's paternal grandparents were Sadatarō Hiraoka ( 平岡定太郎), the third Governor-General of Karafuto Prefecture, and Natsuko (family register name: Natsu) ( 平岡なつ). Mishima received his birth name Kimitake (公威, also read Kōi in on-yomi) in honor of Furuichi Kōi ( 古市公威) who was a benefactor of Sadatarō. [20] He had a younger sister, Mitsuko ( 平岡美津子), who died of typhus in 1945 at the age of 17, and a younger brother, Chiyuki ( 平岡千之). [21] [1]After he finished reading his prepared speech in a few minutes' time, Mishima cried out "Long live the Emperor!" ( 天皇陛下万歳, Tenno-heika banzai ) three times. He then retreated into the commandant's office and apologized to the commandant, saying, Star" was written either during or shortly after Mishima acted in Afraid to Die (1960), a Yakuza film directed by Yasuzo Masumura. In the film, Mishima played a young gangster recently released from prison, where he served time for avenging the murder of his mobster boss father. [5] [9] [2] It was his first starring role in a film. [2] The process was physically and mentally draining for Mishima. Masumura was unsatisfied with Mishima's acting skills, and demanded many retakes as a result. Production of the film was further marred when, on 1 March 1960, Mishima fell down an escalator and injured his head. He was hospitalized for nine days. Filming concluded on 15 March 1960, and Mishima told reporters the next day he "had had his fill of appearing in films." [10] Yomiuri Prize from Yomiuri Newspaper Co., for best novel, 1956, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion [224] Hasuda, who became something of a mentor to Mishima, was an ardent nationalist and a fan of Motoori Norinaga (1730–1801), a scholar of kokugaku from the Edo period who preached Japanese traditional values and devotion to the Emperor. [41] Hasuda had previously fought for the Imperial Japanese Army in China in 1938, and in 1943 he was recalled to active service for deployment as a first lieutenant in the Southeast Asian theater. [42] At a farewell party thrown for Hasuda by the Bungei Bunka group, Hasuda offered the following parting words to Mishima: This book is a will for leave in the Realm of Death where I used to live. If you take a movie of a suicide jumped, and rotate the film in reverse, the suicide person jumps up from the valley bottom to the top of the cliff at a furious speed and he revives. [207] [208]

Since the end of the Second World War, Mishima had carefully avoided getting mixed up in politics. But in the febrile atmosphere stirred up by the new treaty, he felt he had no choice. He penned a story about patriotism; and after arranging for the publication of another by Shichirōō Fukazawa criticising the emperor, he began receiving death threats.
