I can find no evidence verifying any of the facts in this article, or even whether this person existed. The sole source given does not even mention him. Searches in Japanese cannot even confirm how his name might be written. Michitaro (talk) 13:18, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The only information I can find about this Person is that he led some obscure battle in WWII.--Jeffrd10 (talk) 14:39, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There is no reasonable evidence this person even existed, and given the highly implausible name we can suspect a hoax. Imaginatorium (talk) 19:13, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I just tagged the article as such. This is not my last name (talk) 18:45, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:OUTCOMES - we have almost always deleted colonels and majors, absent winning their nation's highest honors. Probably fails WP:SOLDIER. Bearian (talk) 19:16, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As mentioned above, the sole source provided does not even mention this person, and it is not possible to verify whether he even existed. --DAJF (talk) 00:06, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
