Ryuzo Sejima (Japanese: 瀬島 龍三). The code name "Krasnov" was Ryuzo Sejima, and was also a KGB official agent. Levchenko testified that Ryuzo Sejima was intimate with Ivan Kovalenko who was a boss of the agent activities in the Soviet Union against Japan. Ryuzo Sejima had disguised himself as the diplomatic courier called "Ryozo (良三) Sekoshi (瀬越)" and had gone to Moscow, Soviet Union from December 25, 1944 to February 24, 1945. Ryuzo Sejima moved out to Manchuria on July 1, 1945. In fact, Ryuzo Sejima had already known that the Soviet Union would attack to Manchuria and Japan at this time. Although Ryuzo Sejima was able to return to the mainland in Japan without any obstacle after World War II, he defected to and had stayed for 11 years in the Soviet Union. Yuri Rastvorov who defected from the Soviet Union to the United States by way of Japan as well as Levchenko had trained Ryuzo Sejima as an defection agent in the Soviet Union. Ivan Ivanovich Kovalenko (Russian: Иван Иванович(Ивановић) Коваленко; February 13, 1919 – July 27, 2005) was born in Vladivostok, RSFSR (now in Vladivostok, Russia), in charge of a secretary and the interpreter of Aleksandr Vasilevsky who was Marshal of the Soviet Union during World War II, and deputy director of the International Department of the CPSU Central Committee and a firm proponent of dealing with Japan from a position of strength during the Cold War (1945–91). Ivan Kovalenko made friends with Japanese of Akira Kato（加藤 昭）, Yohei Sasakawa and Buntaro Kuroi（黒井 文太郎）, etc. in Japan, and has left the report about Ryuzo Sejima's secret. Kovalenko severely criticized the ability as the espionage agent of Rastvorov and Levchenko for their defections to the United States, and helped Japanese who had come in contact with the Soviet Union side from the suspicion that was the espionage agent in the Soviet Union. Kovalenko died of chronic diseases such as gangrene and diabetes mellitus at his home in Moscow, Russia. Kovalenko published "コワレンコ (Kovalenko), イワン (Ivan) (1996). 対日工作の回想. 文藝春秋 (Bungeishunju). ISBN 978-4-16-352260-9. " about his short biography and memoirs of the agent activities in the Soviet Union against Japan. Incidentally, Ryuzo Sejima took part in the Toshiba-Kongsberg scandal. Ryuzo Sejima also worked with Yoshio Kodama who was intimate with the U.S. Government and the CIA. When Yoshio Kodama died on January 17, 1984, Ryuzo Sejima was also intimate with the U.S. Government and the CIA as if Ryuzo Sejima succeeded the work of Yoshio Kodama. Therefore, the double agent theories of the United States and the Soviet Union were referred to Ryuzo Sejima. By the way, the U.S. Government and the CIA severely criticized the ability as the espionage agent of Masanobu Tsuji and Yoshio Kodama who were intimate with Ryuzo Sejima for their egoism though the criticism of Ryuzo Sejima was uncertain.
