Sakae Ōba

Sakae Ōba

Sakae Ōba (大場 栄) was an army captain of the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. After Allied forces captured the island of Saipan, Captain Ōba and some 46 soldiers held out in the jungle and carried out occasional raid against American patrols and other objectives. He and his force officially surrendered to the American forces on December 1, 1945, more than three months after the surrender of Japan, after being instructed by his superior. His force was the last organized force of Japan to surrender.

After the war, he co-authored the book "Oba The Last Samurai" with Don Jones, an American servicemen who was stationed on Saipan during the war and whose unit came under attack by Ōba's men on one occasion.
