There were several young women employed to do the broadcasts. "Tokyo Rose" is just a name the troops gave the girls on the show. I believe there were three individuals best known, and later identified after the war.

At the same time it had been the custom among Japanese American families to send their daughters to Japan for what amounted to "finishing school" about the time they came of marriageable age. I don't know if it was a thousand, but it was certainly hundreds.
