Kodama Yoshio / 儿玉誉士夫

Kodama Yoshio / 儿玉誉士夫 appears in Vol.268 两个劳斯莱斯 as one of the Japanese intermediaries named in the Lockheed Bribery Scandal. The episode groups him with Marubeni / 丸红 as a channel through which [[LockheedCorporation|Lockheed]] allegedly tried to influence Japanese aircraft purchasing decisions.

His source role is not a full biography. He functions as a political-brokerage node connecting U.S. aircraft exports, Japanese elite politics, and the difficulty of separating legitimate commercial representation from bribery when defense and aircraft contractors pursue overseas state-linked customers.
