Article has been completely unsourced since its creation in July 2012. A quick search indicates that a person by this name was a lieutenant junior grade in the Japanese military and did participate in the Battle of Makin as the article claims, but I could find no sources to back up any other claims in the article. The tags on the article indicate that an article by this name was deleted from Italian Wikipedia in February 2014. If consensus is to keep then the article needs to be stubbed. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 17:07, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete - This is total rubbish. The article has him becoming governor of Korea at age 18! It has Japan invading China in 1922! It's not a problem of sourcing--none of this is true! (Of course, there are no Japanese sources about such a person.) It is a shame this has lasted this long. Michitaro (talk) 22:23, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
