'''Hisao Tani''' (谷 寿夫 ''Tani Hisao'', 22 December 1882 – 26 April 1947) was a Lieutenant General in the [[Imperial Japan]]ese Army in the Second Sino-Japanese War, and was implicated in the [[Nanjing Massacre]].

He was convicted of instigating, inspiring and encouraging the men under his command to carry out general massacres of prisoners of war and non-combatants, and to commit crimes such as rape, [[looting]] and free destruction of property, during the battle of Shanghai, the battle of Nanking and the Nanking massacre, being executed on April 26, 1947. Journalistic chronicles reported how the Japanese military under Tani gutted the pregnant women, plucked the fetuses and threw them into the air to skewer them in the bayonets; how they raped women of all ages and girls as a group (between 20,000 and 80,000) and then introduced branches, bamboo or their weapons, and even golf clubs and firecrackers, into the vagina; they forced men to have relations with women of their own family and then impaled and castrated them. Tani was convicted of [[war crimes]] and executed by firing squad on 26th April 1947.
