Censorship included not only new publications, but publications from the pre-war and wartime period that were reissued during the Occupation. Notable examples of censorship to protect SCAP reputation included the replacement of the term “hairy foreigner” (ketōjin) with “Westerner” (seiōjin). In addition to banning criticism of Occupation forces, criticism of China, Korea, and other Western allies were also prohibited by the CCD.
