From Wikipedia
From 1952 to 2004 there have been 200,000 accidents and crimes committed by the U.S. soldiers, which killed 1,076 Japanese civilians. According to the U.S.-Japan Status of Forces Agreement U.S. personnel have partial extraterritorial right, so in most cases suspects were not arrested. In 1995 the abduction and rape of a 12-year-old Okinawan schoolgirl by three U.S. marines led to demands for the removal of all U.S. military bases in Japan. Other controversial incidents include helicopter crashes, the Girard Incident and the Michael Brown Okinawa assault incident.
In February 2008, a 38-year-old U.S. Marine based on Okinawa was arrested in connection with the reported rape of a 14-year-old Japanese girlFrom Wikipedia

As the US approached the islands of Okinawa in 1945, the Japanese Imperial Army encouraged residents to kill themselves as an alternative to the impending doom the Americans were to bring.
Many residents took the Imperial Army seriously, which resulted in mass suicides throughout the islands. When the Americans arrived, the residents were left alone.
Controversy has erupted recently. Japanese text books have taken out mention of this event. A 100,000 person protest has gotten the government to pay attention, and has made them reconsider their stance.
