As an Imperial GHQ's staff, Keiji Suzuki (1897-1967) led a military intelligence team Minami-Kikan (Team Minami) to train Burma's independence activists Aung San (Aung San Suu Kyi's father) and his 29 comrades in China from April to December 1941. With aid of IJA, Aung San formally organized the Burma Independence Army (BIA) in Thailand on December 28, 1941 to return to his country in triumph.

Koichi Tsukamoto (1920-1998)
Founder of Wacoal Holdings Corp.
Survivor of the Battle of Imphal.

He was a great entrepreneur in the postwar Japan but his family testifies that he suffered trauma which came from the battle he experienced. He sometimes abruptly talked to himself "Am I alive?" "Is this reality?" There would have been many such people at the time.
