Could there have been a Japanese counterpart to Valkyrie? Doubtless it would be unsuccessful, but I would be interested in who would be in favor, and how it would even be started. Obviously it would not seek to overthrow or assassinate the Showa emperor. However, it may try to coerce him in some way to end the war. Yes I know near the end of the Pacific War there was almost a pro-war coup. I'm asking if the opposite could have occurred.
