General Baron Shigeru Honjō (本庄 繁, Honjō Shigeru; 10 May 1876 – 30 November 1945) was a general in the Imperial Japanese Army who commanded the Kwantung Army during the invasion of Manchuria. He later served as chief aide-de-camp to the Emperor, but was dismissed due to his apparent sympathy for the rebels in the February 26 incident.
