"In the case of a suicide bomber to enemy teams, or suicide to an enemy ship, the captain of the midfielder will always go on," said Lieutenant Fujii, saying like a habit, before the operation of kamikaze was begun.
When the kamikaze operation began, the students took a sort of kamikaze attack sortie.
Mr. Kazuo Fujii was touched by the pain and felt responsibility every time he received reports on the Killed in action of his students.
He could not take responsible as an instructor when he saw that the students were going to be Killed in action one after another.

Although I was Kazuo Fujii who could not fulfill my wish, I again issued a petition without giving up.
However, it has been rejected again.

And she left a will following.
"If we were there, we will be sorrowful of the later application and you will not be able to do as much activity as possible, so we are waiting in other world to go ahead"
Kazuo Fujii who heard this report broke down in front of the three dead bodies
Kazuo Fujii submitted his blood petition petition again, cutting off his little finger, in order not to waste his wife 's death.
In consideration of such circumstances, the Japanese Army finally accepted a volunteer application.
On May 28, 1959, Kazuo Fujii, with 10 crew members, He sorted out from the Chiran base towards Okinawa. Finally, He spread a telegram of "I will attack".
A letter to Ichiko (3 years old) and Chieko (1 year old) who went to other world first.
"In the cold river in December
Wind blowing day,
On the river in Arakawa
Dew and disappearing life.
With mother in martyrdom blood
Along with the will of the fiery father,
You murdered before father,
Pathetic also sad
And as if laughing
Willingly with mother,
It fades away,
I want you to have a young life
I will be close to you
It will be able to go after you
Without disgust
Next time, in the bosom of my knee,
Hug you,
Let's sleep together.
Without crying until then
Please wait.
When Chieko cries
Please protect well.
Well, good-bye for a while.
Dad,
Making a hand in the battlefield
I will make a souvenir.
Well, neither Ichiko chan nor Chieko chan,
Please wait until then. "
