Ikuo Oyama
Ikuo Oyama (大山 郁夫 Ōyama Ikuo) was a Japanese politician. He became the target of assassination by a Japanese military clique.[1] He fled Japan in 1933 to the United States, where he got a job at Northwestern University at its library and political science department.[2] He returned to Japan following the Japanese surrender.[3] His colleagues begged him not to accept the Stalin Prize when he was nominated, saying he would just be a Soviet tool. Some of his oldest friends abandoned him when he accepted it in December 1951.[4] He died of a subdural hematoma while serving as a member of the House of Councillors.
