It was W. Edwards Deming who taught statistical quality control methods to the Japanese. He tried to teach the Americans first, but the leadership at those companies were still drunk on war profits and ignored him.
Sorry, couldn't resist leaving that hanging a bit more out in the breeze.

Mr. Deming operated under the authority of MacArthur, at least in his early years, like the Secretary of Commerce operates under the authority of the President.
If you can, provide a single example of a Japanese goverment representative or other official position after the end of the occupation, post WW2, who was not a native of Japan.
If you want to "hang" the obvious in the breeze, the consequences will be obvious.
