About Tokio Kid and wartime propaganda ( I do not condone this imagery. It is racist, it is wrong, but it is also important to the history of our country that we acknowledge it )

"Tokio kid" posters, began in 1942, the same year that Tojo Hideki (the likeness of Tokio Kid) became Prime Minister of Japan, and began to take a much more personalistic view on power, by centralizing power around himself.

Douglas. Aircraft Co.'s gargoyle-like cartoon character, "The Tokio Kid” was created as part of the company's drive to reduce tool breakage and waste, the Kid appears on posters that show broken drills, cracked cogwheels, mixed-up rivets, piles of scrap

Two of the posters were lithographed and distributed to 7,000 Douglas suppliers

Artist Jack Campbell was a Disney artist
