Masabumi Hosono was a japanese diplomat posted to Russia in 1912. He was the only japanese person aboard the titanic. When Titanic went down he was offered a seat on a life boat and he took it.
For surviving the wreck he was fired from his job and vilified and ostracized in japan for the rest of his life because he failed to adhere to the women and children rule and thereby lives when women and children died.
although he died in 1939, his shame is not over. When the James Cameron’s Titanic was screened japan, Japanese media dredged up his shame again and his descendants had to publicly attempt to defend his honor
