Nair
San
was
a
leading
industrialist
and
a
prominent
figure
among
Japanese
citizens.
A
native
of
Thiruvananthapuram
arrived
in
Japan
via
Srilanka
as
an
engineering
student
during
the
Indian
Independence
struggle.
On
completing
his
studies,
he
settled
down
in
Japan
and
married
a
Japanese
girl.
He
played
a
vital
role
in
the
freedom
movement
of
India.
Nair
San
collaborated
with
several
freedom
fighters
from
India
who
arrived
in
Japan
at
that
time,
including
Subhash
Chandra
Bose,
to
fight
against
the
British
rulers.
Nair
discontinued
his
studies
and
became
Subhash
Chandra
Bose's
Japanese
translator.
He
was
one
of
the
leaders
of
Indian
National
Army
formed
by
Netaji.
He
travelled
extensively
in
Manchuria,
China,
and
other
Asian
countries
as
an
anti-British
propagandist.
However,
he
was
never
involved
in
the
political
affairs
of
India
after
its
independence.
Nair
San
lived
in
Japan
for
over
half
a
century
and
spent
several
years
in
Manchuria.
There,
he
was
an
unofficial
advisor
to
the
Manchukuo
Government
and
the
Kwangtung
Army.
He
also
conducted
an
anti-colonial
Movement
against
British
imperialism
in
India
and
other
parts
of
Asia,
said
director
Albert.
He
also
was
awarded
the
order
of
Merit
of
the
Sacred
Treasure
by
Emperor
Hirohito
in
1984.
Interestingly,
when
India
won
the
1964
Olympics
hockey
gold
medal,
the
national
anthem
played
was
that
of
Pakistan,
by
mistake.
And
it
was
Nair
San,
the
global
Malayalee,
who
was
the
one
to
point
out
the
mistake
and
rectify
it.
Nair
San
is
the
owner
of
world
famous
Ginza
Nair
Restaurant
in
Tokyo.
