Abstract : The first Japanese intelligence-gathering organizations in China were a pharmaceutical business in Hankow and a trade association in Shanghai, which were given their role of spying for Japan by Arao Kiyoshi (1858-?), a Japanese ultra-conservative who visited China from 1886 to 1889. These organizations were the early incarnations and prototypes of post Sino-Japanese War Japanese espionage agencies in China.
