I invite people to read Shibusawa Eiichi’s autobiography. He did much more good than harm in this world which is more than the vast majority of people can say.

While he he was a pacifist he did not start out that way. He and his cousin (my great great grandfather) were alarmed by the foreign influence on Japan and didn’t want the Emperor to lose influence. They started collecting weapons in order to kill the foreigners and anyone who supported their influence. Luckily they were discovered and given a choice to give up theirs ways “or else”.

Eiichi Shibusawa didn’t change his ideals until he was put in charge of the prince’s trip to Europe. It was during this trip that he came to know the ideals of western economics and government (and others would advocate for a western type of military).
