- Saburō Kurusu (来栖 三郎 Kurusu Saburō?, March 6, 1886- April 7, 1954) was a Japanese career diplomat. As Imperial Japan's ambassador to Germany from 1939 to November 1941, he signed the Tripartite Pact along with the foreign ministers of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy on September 27, 1940 to create the Axis. Kurusu is probably best remembered now as an envoy who tried to negotiate peace and understanding with the United States while Japan was secretly preparing the attack on Pearl Harbor. He met several times with Secretary of State Cordell Hull in November 1941, conveying Japan's demand that the U.S. end support for China and resume trade relations that had been frozen in 1939. Hull responded with President Franklin D. Roosevelt's demand that Japan evacuate China and break ties with the Axis. The Japanese government found these demands unacceptable, and informed Kurusu to sever relations with the U.S. Kurusu delivered this message just as the attack on Pearl Harbor began. Kurusu was interned until mid-1942, when he was exchanged for the U.S. ambassador. He became a visiting professor at the University of Tokyo after World War II. For the remainder of his life, Kurusu insisted he had no idea that the attack on Pearl Harbor was imminent while he was negotiating with Hull.
