While the rest of the world is marking the 50th anniversary of the end of the Pacific War, a former Japanese Imperial Army lieutenant has his own long, lonely fight to remember.
Isolated in the Philippine jungle, refusing to believe Japan had surrendered, Hiroo Onoda held out 29 years after the war had finished.
At the opening of a photo exhibition in Tokyo last week, people came to see the dramatic pictures of the soldier who refused to give up.
The exhibition tells the story of Hiroo Onoda, now 73.
Onoda began his long war as a draftee, conscripted into the military in 1942.
In December 1944 he was sent as an intelligence officer to the tiny island of Lubang, 90 miles south-west of Manila in the Philippines.
In February 1945, US forces landed on Lubang.
Most Japanese surrendered, but about two dozen killed themselves rather than give up.
Onoda did neither.
Cut off from their unit, he and a handful of others hid and waited.
Weeks went by, then months, then years - for Onoda a total of 29 years passed.
Onoda does not believe he wasted his time.
SOUNDBITE: (In Japanese)
"I did spend more than 20 years fighting in vain. But it does not mean that I wasted the prime of my youth."
SUPER CAPTION: Hiroo Onoda - Japanese war veteran
The real enemy was hunger.
The soldiers stole rice and bananas from local residents and killed an occasional cow to survive.
In a skirmish with the local villagers and members of the Philippine army in 1954, one of Onoda's two companions was killed.
When the soldiers failed to return home, search parties were sent out from Japan.
Relatives and former classmates appealed over loudspeakers.
Pamphlets were dropped from airplanes and Onoda's brother even went into the jungle and sang his old school song, but to no avail.
Onoda thought it was all an enemy ploy to trick him.
In 1972 his last companion was killed by local residents and he was alone.
Onoda does admit bitterness about those years and the hardships.
SOUNDBITE: (In Japanese)
"I do not want ever to go back to Lubang again, every single stone, every single tree would bring back painful memories. If it were possible, then I would really like to forget."

In 1974, a young adventurer from Japan went into the jungle and managed over a period of weeks to convince Onoda to come out.
But not without first receiving the order from his former army major who in person had to be taken to the jungle.
Onoda, who now works as a director of a children's nature camp in northern Japan, is something of a celebrity in Japan where loyalty and perseverance are given great respect and he has recently written a book as well as giving lectures on his life story.
However some have denounced him as an embodiment of the same blind faith to the emperor and militarism which led Japan to war in the first place.

Mad respect for this true soldier.
Shoichi Yokoi was afraid of dying and hid in the jungle. However, Hiro Onoda was fighting alone to fulfill his mission. There is a big difference here. Ent. Onoda's eyes were sharp and the eyes of a fighting warrior.
he murdered women and children.

@@MrYomigaeri Two wrongs don't make a right. The man slit the throats of children in their sleep. He should have been tried as a war criminal and serial murderer. Japan by the way, invaded the Phillipines.
Did you see the scene? Who did you hear the story from? Among his records was the case record in the Philippines after the end of the war, but 28 people were killed in a shooting battle with the police and the army. The incident log did not record the child's throat cut. Even in Japan, there is a demagogue that Japanese soldiers killed the Japanese in the Battle of Okinawa, but in recent years it was a demagogue that communists died after the war. I think that the act of cutting a child's throat cannot be done by Japanese soldiers. That is what you can understand if you know Japan's long history. I pray that you will be released from bad brainwashing.
@@MrYomigaeri Japanese aren't capable of cutting the throats of children? That is why your racism still persists. Just like these brainwashed people like Onoda, believing that Japanese aren't capable of committing such acts because they are racially superior. That is a ridiculous statement.
the man teaches us a lesson as SOMEONE teaches him ... humanity salamat
He is the Epitome of Japanese Honor, Filipinos should be like him too.
@@sauceyeti4381 lol killing innocent people to get their foods and livestocks in almost 20 years , what a dumb soldier
@@fvckuphistory147
Isn't that what most people would do if their situations are similar to Onoda's?
@@sauceyeti4381 Killing farmers,kids,old people 29 years after the war? if he had a common sense he wouldn't do that not a hero just a dumb soldier who kill innocent people .
@@fvckuphistory147 He thought they were ambushed ally soldiers

帝国時代の日本は現在の北朝鮮と同じです
金正恩の命令は絶対の様に東條英機、昭和天皇の命令には絶対に従わなければいけない（逆らえば暴行されたり逮捕されたりします）
マインドコントロールも幼少期からされているので国の為に死ぬまで戦う兵士が誕生するのです
北朝鮮民が金日成、金正日の写真にお辞儀をするように当時の日本人は天皇がいる皇居にお辞儀をしていました
そんな政府が始めた政策と戦争に人生を狂わされた日本兵は沢山いました
（民間から徴兵されてニューギニアやラバウルでアメリカ兵と戦うこともなくマラリアと飢餓で死んだ日本兵は全体の60％にも及びます）
動画の彼は民間人を殺害しているので悪いと思いますが、彼も日本政府に人生を狂わされた一人です
そして、日本兵の大半は戦争犯罪に関与していません
ジャングルでひたすら穴を掘るのが任務でしたので
731部隊総数→3900人
南京戦総数→20万人
日本軍は陸軍、海軍合わせて710万人いました
戦争犯罪を起こしたのは一部の日本兵です
Agreed.
