Hajime Yasuda

Hajime Yasuda (安田 一, Yasuda Hajime) was born on 14 April 1907 and died on 26 March 1991. He was a Japanese businessman known for his leadership role in the Yasuda zaibatsu during the final years of World War II.

Yasuda was associated with the Yasuda clan, a prominent family involved in the financial and industrial sectors of Japan. His professional career was marked by his position as the head of the Yasuda zaibatsu, a powerful conglomerate that played a significant role in Japan's economic landscape prior to the post-war reforms.

One of Yasuda's notable contributions was the formulation of the "Yasuda plan," which proposed the dissolution of the zaibatsu conglomerates in Japan. This plan was part of broader efforts to reform Japan’s economy following the war, aiming to reduce the concentration of economic power held by large industrial and financial holding groups.

Further details about Yasuda’s activities, career progression, and the impact of his proposals are documented in historical records and references related to the era’s economic reforms.
