nihongo|"The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On"|ゆきゆきて、神軍|Yuki Yukite Shingun is an award-winning 1987 documentary by director Kazuo Hara. The documentary centers on 62-year-old veteran of Japan's Second World War campaign in New Guinea, Kenzo Okuzaki, and follows him around as he searches out those responsible for the mysterious deaths of several soldiers in his old unit.

Though Okuzaki ultimately holds Emperor Hirohito accountable for all the suffering of the war, he painstakingly tracks down former military officers and accuses them of specific war crimes, often abusing them verbally and at times physically in the process.

The movie was five years in the making.
