The purpose of this paper is to examine the recruitment pattern of military officers in modern Japan, and to therby propose some hypotheses about the Imperial Japanese Military in Showa era which is regarded herl regards them as a social group. In western Europe the problem of how military officers were recruited has been an important clue to understanding the social character of the military-especially civil-military relations. In Japan, however, no study has attempted to examine the Japanese military with such an interest. Thus, taking two models from European studids into consideration, we investigate the recruitment pattern of the Cadet Schools (Rikugun Yonen Gakko) and the Military Academy (Rikugun Shikan Gakko). Firstly, the recruitment system tells us that the Japanese military schools were open to only middle or upper socio-economic strata. Secondly, data about the candidates and students was examined to clarify which parts of the middle and upper strata wbre connected with the military school students and the officer corps. It was revealed that it was mainly the sons from "Shizoku-so" (former samurai stratum) who, having lost their privileges and properties and managed to become the salaried class, entered the military schools in Meiji era, and followed later by the sons of the middle class. Lastly, some hypotheses are proposed on the premise that the Japanese military officers belonged to one of the middle and unrestful groups in the social structure in Showa era.
