Editing Debt of Honor (section)

===Japan===
* '''Raizo Yamata''': Chairman of a large conglomerate in Japan and leader of the zaibatsu. He is the sole architect behind the war between the U.S. and Japan, which is motivated by revenge for the suicide of his family on [[Banzai Cliff]] in [[Saipan]] in an effort to evade capture by American forces during [[World War II]]. He underestimates both U.S. resourcefulness and his own nation's willingness to engage in hostility and is ultimately captured after an attempt to flee to the People's Republic of China fails.
* '''Hiroshi Goto''': Japanese politician who is aggressive towards the U.S. Controlled by Yamata, he becomes prime minister of Japan for most of the war between his country and the U.S.
* '''Mogataru Koga''': Prime minister of Japan who resigns in disgrace due to his country's economic situation, which paves the way for Goto's ascension into power. He becomes a bargaining chip in the diplomatic negotiations, as he is a potential opposition leader to Goto, but he is kidnapped by Yamata in an effort to silence him. After being rescued by Clark and Chavez from Yamata's men, he resumes his position as Japan's leader at the conclusion of the hostilities.
* '''Rear Admiral Yusuo Sato''': [[Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force|JMDSF]] fleet commander associated with Yamata. Later dies after ''Tennessee'' sinks his destroyer ''Mutsu'' with torpedoes.
* '''Seiji Nagumo''': [[Public Security Intelligence Agency|Japanese intelligence]] officer covered as an embassy official, who is Cook's de facto case officer.
* '''Torajiro Sato''': A captain flying 747s for Japan Air Lines. His brother Yusuo and his son Major Shiro, who is an [[Mitsubishi F-15J|F-15 Eagle]] pilot, are killed in the military conflict. Embittered by his ordeal, he exacts revenge by crashing his aircraft into a [[joint session of the United States Congress|joint session of Congress]] in the U.S. Capitol.
