Tokyo Rose

Tokyo Rose
orig. Ikuko Toguri

(n. 4 jul. 1916, Los Ángeles, Cal., EE.UU.).

Locutora radial estadounidense. Estaba de visita en Japón cuando se encontró desamparada y sin recursos debido al inicio de la segunda guerra mundial. En 1943 se desempeñó como locutora radial en un programa de propaganda dirigido a los soldados de EE.UU. y, con el tiempo, fue una de 13 locutoras, todas con el inglés estadounidense como lengua materna, que llevaban el nombre colectivo de Tokyo Rose. Después de la guerra fue condenada por traición y cumplió seis años en una prisión de EE.UU. Posteriormente apareció información atenuante y en 1977 fue perdonada.
