Mr. Wyndham-Matson
“Mr. Yatabe,” allegedly an “elderly retired businessman,” is the alias that General Tedeki uses to travel to the Pacific States without arousing Nazi suspicion. Tedeki is actually a valiant military man and high-ranking Japanese official, able to make change at the policy level. Baynes therefore postpones his meeting with Tagomi until Tedeki can be present at it. When faced with the prospect of Operation Dandelion, Tedeki is unsure how to proceed—though he obviously wants to prevent Nazi destruction of Japan, he (like many of his Japanese colleagues) is repulsed by the various German power struggles and therefore is hesitant to take any side in who their Chancellor will be.

Quotes
But he had to remain where he was, in San Francisco. Still trying to arrange the meeting for which he had come. Forty-five minutes by Lufthansa rocket from Berlin, and now this. A weird time in which we are alive. We can travel anywhere we want, even to other planets. And for what? To sit day after day, declining in morale and hope.

Quotes
Evil, Mr. Tagomi thought. Yes, it is. Are we to assist it in gaining power, in order to save our lives? Is that the paradox of our earthly situation? I cannot face this dilemma, Mr. Tagomi said to himself. That man should have to act in such moral ambiguity. There is no Way in this; all is muddled. All chaos of light and dark, shadow and substance.
