Brazil Maru was a Japanese transport ship and a ship for transporting prisoners of war. The ship was launched in April 1919, and commissioning took place in May of the same year. The length of the Brazil Maru at the time of launch was 117.4 meters, width 15.5 meters, and a full displacement of 5,900 tons. The ship was never armed. The maximum speed was up to 13.6 knots.

The Brazil Maru was built at the Kawasaki shipyard in Kobe and served as a civilian transport unit for a very long time. It was not until the outbreak of the war in the Pacific that he was confiscated and incorporated into the navy. First of all, he performed the less glorious function of a ship transporting prisoners of war, becoming one of the so-called "Hellish ships" on which many allied prisoners died during the voyages. The Brazil Maru sank in Kobe on May 12, 1945 after impacting a mine.
