From 1935 he was aide-de-camp to the emperor and secretary of the Supreme Military Council, and during 1936–37 he held responsible positions in the war ministry. He commanded an infantry division in China during 1938–39. From 1939 to 1941 he was deputy minister of war. Between 1941 and 1944 he commanded the Eleventh Army and the Northern Front in China. In April 1945, Anami became minister of war in the Suzuki government.
