The Lost Soldier Was Found
Once Suzuki landed in Lubang Island, he went to the jungle and called Onoda’s name. And when the lost soldier appeared with his rifle drawn, Suzuki explained to him that the war was over. But Onoda would only agree to a surrender if his commanding officer, Major Yoshimi Taniguchi ordered him. So, Suzuki returned to Japan and had the Japanese government track Taniguchi down.
