The Kōmin Hōkōkai (皇民奉公会, Imperial Subjects for Patriotic Services) was an organization founded on April 19, 1941, for the Japanization, or Kōminka, movement in Taiwan during the Japanese rule.
[3] At the same time, there was a sub-organization of IRAA called League of Mobilization [ja][4] in Korea, which was a Japanese colony like Taiwan.
In January 1941, the Government-General of Taiwan decided on the name of the organization and appointed military, official, and civilian representatives to serve as the Preparatory Committee for Kōmin Hōkōka.
The office was led by Chen Yi (陳儀), who was responsible for taking over the administrative organizations and promoting reconstruction.
After the end of the February 28 Incident in 1947, Chen Yi repeatedly pointed out that members of the Kōmin Hōkōkai were instigators behind the scenes.
