According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yukio_Mishima https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yukio_Mishima:
In 1970, [Mishima] and three other members of his militia staged an attempted coup d'état when they seized control of a Japanese military base and took the commander hostage, then tried and failed to inspire a coup to restore the Emperor's pre-war powers, in accordance with Mishima's conceptualization of the Kokutai. Mishima then committed ritual suicide by seppuku. The coup attempt became known as the "Mishima Incident".
