Origin of "Victory Disease"

[milh...@gmail.com]

I'm looking for information on Victory Disease. I believe that the
term was coined by the Japanese. But which person coined it?

Yes, the Japanese coined that phrase but who originally came up with it?
Good luck in trying to run that one down!

According to "Hawaii Under the Rising Sun: Japan's Plans for Conquest
After Pearl Harbor" by John J. Stephan in the chapter "Victory
Disease" the term (Senshobyo in Japanese) was coined by Chuko Ikezaki
in the 1930s.

In reference to what? Was Ikezaki a historian,
perhaps writing about the 1905 war?
