Ōsugi Sakae
Ōsugi Sakae (大杉 栄, January 17, 1885 – September 16, 1923) was a radical Japanese anarchist. He published numerous anarchist periodicals, helped translate western anarchist essays into Japanese for the first time, and created Japan's first Esperanto school in 1906. He, his lover, anarcha-feminist Itō Noe, and his nephew were murdered in what became known as the Amakasu incident.

Director Kiju Yoshida made Eros + Massacre (エロス＋虐殺) in 1969, about Ōsugi's life[2]
