Douglas MacArthur (1880 - 1964) was an officer and General in the United States Army, seeing service during World War I, the Pacific Theater of World War II, and leading United Nations Command during the Korean War until his relief by President Truman in 1951.
From 1945 to 1951, he oversaw the post-war occupation of Japan, which made him an outsized figure in Japanese public consciousness and culture. MacArthur himself is frequently used as a symbol of postwar Japan's complicated relationship with the United States, and his distinctive peaked cap and corncob pipe are often used as shorthand references for the general himself.
