‘Tokyo Rose’ was not one person, but a collective name given by Allied troops to approximately a dozen English-speaking female broadcasters who aired Japanese propaganda. The goal was to demoralize American soldiers by playing popular U.S. music and then describing the 'hopelessness' of their situation or suggesting their wives and girlfriends back home were being unfaithful. Ironically, the broadcasts were a hit with troops because the music was excellent and the propaganda was often viewed as unintentionally hilarious. After the war, Iva Toguri D'Aquino, an American citizen, was the only one prosecuted for treason, though she was later pardoned by President Gerald Ford.
