    In any case, he's the general who was in command of the Japanese forces at Okinawa. He knew he could not win, but he used what forces he had very effectively in order to damage the US troops as much as possible, and prolong the fighting on Okinawa.

    Japanese Commanders:

    Isoroku Yamamamoto
    Admiral Nagumo
    Mitsuru Ushijima
    Raizo Tanaka

    and others...

    They were the most important commanders of the Japanese Imperial Army.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Takeo Takagi, essentially guaranteed the Japanese conquest of Dutch India by defeating rear admiral Karel Doorman and his ABDA fleet in the Battle of the Java Sea. His flagship Haguro sank the HNMLS De Ruyter, as well as the HMS Exeter and the HMS Encounter.
