March 2025 marks the 30th anniversary of Aum Shinrikyo's sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway system. At the time, Shigetake Ogata, who was in charge of the investigation as the head of the Public Security Intelligence Agency, turned 91 years old. "Looking back, I think it was my days of fighting against those who were plotting to overthrow the state," Ogata recalls. Ogata reviews the serious post-war public security incidents that he was in charge of. From the Tokyo University struggle, the Yodo-go hijacking, the Shinjuku riot incident, the bombing of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Building, and the sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway system, Ogata, who was the last living witness, saw confrontations with revolutionary forces.
