The Black Dragons were also a Japanese fifth column within the United
States during World War Two.
From http://vikingphoenix.com/public/JapanIncorporated/1895-1945/doho.htm
"While it has been hotly debated and routinely denied by Japanese-Americans, doho performed espionage and subversive duties for
Japan on U.S. soil. Japanese men returned to Japan to serve the Emperor. Thousands of Japanese-American men renounced their loyalty
to the United States and demanded repatriation to Japan during World War II. Black Dragons disrupted U.S. internment camps during
World War II."
and from http://vikingphoenix.com/public/JapanIncorporated/1895-1945/dragon.htm
"The Black Dragons were the Amur River Society (Kokuryu-kai) in 1930s and 1940s Japan. The Black Dragons were ultranationalists
heavily involved in the conquest of China, and as spies and fifth columnists subverting nations targeted for conquest. The Black
Dragons were active up and down the Pacific Coast of North and South America."
