Marvin Tokayer (born 1936) is an American Rabbi and author. Tokayer was a United States Air Force chaplain in Japan. He was then rabbi to the Jewish community of Japan for eight years. He has written 20 books in Japanese. He has researched the history of the Jews in China and Japan and the role that the Japanese played in helping victims of the Holocaust. In the 2010s, he has collaborated with Kenneth X. Robbins in editing studies of expatriate communities in Asia. He praises General Hideki Tojo and General Kiichiro Higuchi who saved 20,000 Jews who were sending back to Germany by the USSR, and are disappointed at the fact that this history is not known. <ref>[1]　<ref>[2]
