"The purpose of this article is to comprehensively examine and present a general overview of the system of military attaché, which has hardly been a subject of extensive research, focusing on military/ naval attachés to embassies/legations of Japan up to the Second World War period. Relying mainly on official documents in the collection of the Center for Military History, the National Institute for Defense Studies of the Ministry of Defense as well as the Diplomatic Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as primary historical sources, in addition to drawing on the diaries, memoirs, and testimonies of those who served as military attachés to embassies/legations before and during the Second World War and of their acquaintances, this article examines, in particular, the establishment and the evolvement of the Japanese military attaché system (its origins, increases in the number of and changes to the countries of assignment, and the system's termination), the status of military attachés (status under international law, status at the embassy/legation, and status within military forces), the arrangements of the "Office of Military Attaché" (office room and staff), and personnel affairs (candidates, personnel management, place of appointment, reappointment, and locally limited assignment)…."
