My Take

Junzo Okudaira is one of the harder names to sit with. A Kyoto University engineering student who somewhere along the way decided that the world's injustices required a gun instead of a ballot, he became one of the core figures of the Japanese Red Army — a group responsible for real deaths of real people, including the 1972 Lod Airport massacre. I don't romanticize any of it. What I keep turning over is the gap: a rigorous technical education, presumably a functioning mind, and yet a path that ended in international fugitive status and decades in hiding. History is full of intelligent people who chose catastrophically wrong. He's a case study in how ideology can convert capability into destruction, and the victims of his actions deserved better than to become footnotes in someone else's revolutionary narrative.
