Aizawa Saburo was born at September 6, 1888 in Iwate Prefecture.
He reached the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. He assassinated Tetsuzan Nagata with his sword on August 12, 1935, because he was reputedly putting the Army "in the paws of high finance". Aizawa made no attempt to resist arrest, and reportedly said that he "was in an absolute sphere, so there was neither affirmation nor negation, neither good nor evil". He believed that Naga- ta’s assassination would help reform the army.
