Kenji Ono (小野 賢二 Ono Kenji) is a Japanese factory worker and amateur historian known for his work investigating the Japanese role in the Nanjing Massacre.
In 1988, Ono began interviewing local farmers who had been a part of the Aizu Wakamatsu Battalion during the Massacre. Ono's 36-hour breaks between his factory work and his lack of familial commitments allowed him time for his investigation. In a six-year span of time, he reportedly visited approximately 600 homes, talked with 200 people, photocopied twenty diaries, and videotaped seven interviews. Some of his research was printed in Shukan Kinyobi, a Japanese weekly magazine. He co-edited a book on the Massacre in 1996.[1]
