Jinzaburo Mazaki(1876-1955) was an Imperial Japanese Army officer, who was a protege of Emperor Taisho and a military academy classmate of Sadao Araki and Shigeru Honjo. He was considered honest and loyal, and given assignments such as heading the Imperial Guards Regiment during Prince Hirohito's 1921 European trip. Later, he was the leader of the Imperial Way Faction. In 1935, Prince Higashikuni and Chief of Staff Prince Kanin forced him to resign as Inspector General of Military Education over his criticism of Palace decisionmaking. One of the demands of the February 26, 1936 Incident was his reinstatement as Inspector General. Given lengthy interrogations after the Incident, he refused to admit guild and was eventually acquitted, retiring to private life.
