The
U
.
S
.
military
,
in
conjunction
with
the
Japanese
government
,
dropped
thousands
of
leaflets
throughout
the
Pacific
region
,
announcing
that
the
war
was
over
and
it
was
time
for
everyone
to
go
home
.
Onoda
and
his
men
,
like
many
others
,
found
and
read
these
leaflets
,
but
unlike
most
of
the
others
,
Onoda
decided
that
they
were
fake
,
a
trap
set
by
the
American
forces
to
get
the
guerrilla
fighters
to
show
themselves
.
Onoda
burned
the
leaflets
,
and
he
and
his
men
stayed
hidden
and
continued
to
fight
.
342
Five
years
went
by
.
The
leaflets
had
stopped
,
and
most
of
the
American
forces
had
long
since
gone
home
.
The
local
population
on
Lubang
attempted
to
return
to
their
normal
lives
of
farming
and
fishing
.
Yet
there
were
Hiroo
Onoda
and
his
merry
men
,
still
shooting
at
the
farmers
,
burning
their
crops
,
stealing
their
livestock
,
and
murdering
locals
who
wandered
too
far
into
the
jungle
.
The
Philippine
government
then
took
to
drawing
up
new
flyers
and
spreading
them
out
across
the
jungle
.
Come
out
,
they
said
.
The
war
is
over
.
You
lost
.
343
But
these
,
too
,
were
ignored
.

In
1952
,
the
Japanese
government
made
one
final
effort
to
draw
the
last
remaining
soldiers
out
of
hiding
throughout
the
Pacific
.
This
time
,
letters
and
pictures
from
the
missing
soldiers
families
were
air
-
dropped
,
along
with
a
personal
note
from
the
emperor
himself
.
Once
again
,
Onoda
refused
to
believe
that
the
information
was
real
.
345
Once
again
,
he
believed
the
airdrop
to
be
a
trick
by
the
Americans
.
Once
again
,
he
and
his
men
stood
and
continued
to
fight
.
346
Another
few
years
went
by
and
the
Philippine
locals
,
sick
of
being
terrorized
,
finally
armed
themselves
and
began
firing
back
.
By
1959
,
one
of
Onoda
s
companions
had
surrendered
,
and
another
had
been
killed
.
Then
,
a
decade
later
,
Onoda
s
last
companion
,
a
man
called
Kozuka
,
was
killed
in
a
shootout
with
the
local
police
while
he
was
burning
rice
fields
still
waging
war
against
the
local
population
a
full
quarter
-
century
after
the
end
of
World
War
II
!
347
Onoda
,
having
now
spent
more
than
half
of
his
life
in
the
jungles
of
Lubang
,
was
all
alone
.

In
1972
,
the
news
of
Kozuka
s
death
reached
Japan
and
caused
a
stir
.
The
Japanese
people
thought
the
last
of
the
soldiers
from
the
war
had
come
home
years
earlier
.
The
Japanese
media
began
to
wonder
:
if
Kozuka
had
still
been
on
Lubang
until
1972
,
then
perhaps
Onoda
himself
,
the
last
known
Japanese
holdout
from
World
War
II
,
might
still
be
alive
as
well
.
That
year
,
both
the
Japanese
and
Philippine
governments
sent
search
parties
to
look
for
the
enigmatic
second
lieutenant
,
now
part
myth
,
part
hero
,
and
part
ghost
.
349
They
found
nothing
.
350
As
the
months
progressed
,
the
story
of
Lieutenant
Onoda
morphed
into
something
of
an
urban
legend
in
Japan
the
war
hero
who
sounded
too
insane
to
actually
exist
.
Many
romanticized
him
.
Others
criticized
him
.
Others
thought
he
was
the
stuff
of
fairy
tale
,
invented
by
those
who
still
wanted
to
believe
in
a
Japan
that
had
disappeared
long
ago
.
