This article examines the organization and changing role of the Japanese military gendarmerie stationed on the Korean Peninsula before and after the 1919 March 1 Movement. The gendarmerie played a key role in Japanese imperialism’s colonization of Korea. In particular, the gendarmerie was primarily responsible for policing colonial Korea until the “gendarmerie-police system” was abolished after the 1919 March 1 Movement. However, existing studies have focused on analyzing the police during the colonial period, and the changes in the gendarmerie after 1919 have not been well covered. This paper focuses on the transformation of the Japanese military gendarmerie in the Korean Peninsula after 1919. From 1919 to 1923, the number of gendarmes was reduced in two stages. In 1919, a total of 14 regional gendarmerie units were reduced to eight, and their number was reduced from more than 8,000 to 1,200. During this period, Japanese gendarmes stationed in Korea were mainly deployed along the northern border of the Korean Peninsula. In 1922 and 1923, the number of gendarmes was further reduced to around 500, as the gendarmes were no longer required to defend the border. From then on, the Japanese military gendarmerie in the Korean Peninsula changed from the role of military police to that of inspectors and spies.
