Biography
Mitsuyasu Maeno (前野 光保, Maeno Mitsuyasu, c.1947– March 23, 1976) was a Japanese actor who acted under the name Soichiro Maeno (前野 霜一郎, Maeno Sōichirō). Outside of acting, Maeno was associated with the Japanese ultranationalist movement. In March 1976, he carried out a suicide attack on Yoshio Kodama, a multi-millionaire right-wing leader and leading figure in the Lockheed bribery scandals. Maeno attempted to kill Kodama by flying a plane into his home, but Kodama survived uninjured.
