The assertion examines details that Nogi Maesuke was held in high esteem as a war hero, and his reappraise in the current of the times through Japanese textbooks, to investigate a reason why Japanese are immersed in modern war heroes and a necessary cause of a war hero in modern Japanese society. After defeat, writings about General Nogi that could be found from a second-term government designated textbook went into smoke completely. General Nogi appeared in textbooks again, by far-right organization ‘Meeting to make new historical textbook’. Although the organization introduced not patriotism, a sense of loyalty and exemplary service person but Japanese warrior’s code and personal characters, their textbook after the 2000s referred to General Nogi directly so it is obvious to arouse a glorious past when Japan consummated an entire triumph in Russo-Japanese war and made a long drive taking advantage of victory. When there is a period of unrest and state peace is risky by wars and so on all time, a hero as superman is asked for. Modern Japan is in trouble because of the rapid economic recession started from the middle of the 1990s and a big earthquake in the northeastern districts of 2011, so the resurgence for General Nogi in textbooks may follow the logic of social integration.
