Tokyo Rose was a name given by Allied forces in the South Pacific during World War II to English-speaking female Japanese propagandists whose broadcasts aimed to disrupt Allied troop morale. Rumors spread among soldiers that Tokyo Rose could accurately predict attacks and identify units, though no transcripts backing this exist. Similar rumors surrounded other Axis propaganda broadcasts. It remains unclear whether Tokyo Rose was a single person or multiple people, and their true identities were never confirmed.

1. "...now and then women should do for themselves what men have already done -
occasionally what men have not done--thereby establishing themselves as
persons, and perhaps encouraging other women toward greater independence of
thought and action. Some such consideration was a contributing reason for my
wanting to do what I so much wanted to do.

8. Tokyo Rose was a generic name given by Allied forces in the South Pacific
during World War II to any of approximately a dozen English-speaking female
broadcasters of Japanese propaganda. Their intent was to disrupt the morale of
Allied forces listening to the broadcast near the Japanese mainland.[1] According to
rumors circulating among GIs, Tokyo Rose routinely identified American units on
air, sometimes even naming individual soldiers. Her purported predictions of
impending attacks were, according to many, unnervingly accurate, but there are no
radio scripts, transcripts, or recordings of such broadcasts. Nevertheless, these
stories continue to appear in popular histories of World War II and popular movies,
such as Flags of Our Fathers. [2] Similar rumors surround the propaganda
broadcasts of Lord Haw-Haw and Axis Sally.[3]
