The left wing included economic researchers such as Wada Hiroo, Inaba Hidezo¯ , and Katsumata Seiichi. Their early intellectual training and political background informed their diverse approaches toward planning. At the university, most reform bureaucrats studied either German or English law. Those who studied German law, such as Kishi, Shiina, and Okumura, tended toward a more statist approach. Kishi was a protégé of the right-wing legal scholar Uesugi Shinkichi. Both Kishi and Okumura drew directly on German models of economic and political mobilization based on their firsthand observations of German political and industrial organizations in the 1930s.
