Statement of Ohtsuki (24 Mar - 8 Apr 1947) 9-10 Aug execution - Ohtsuki noticed Wako and Ohno of LS and several officers nearby. Ohtsuki then talked towards the road and noticed a field grader's sedan parked there., Tomomori and Enatsu then passed and walked to where Wako was standing. When the last - 8th - prisoner was executed - Tomomori and Enatsu were still standing in the same position, Itezono on the left of the Prisoner about 2 meters away, Ohtsuki next to him. Itezono and Enatsu then approached each other, talked, and Itezono turned to the group of 15 PCs in front of the Prisoner (last one of 8) and said in a loud voice that all of the POs step up and try Karate on the Prisoner, and they all moved up, with 6 of them taking turns and, Ohtsuki believes, Karu. While they were trying out their karate, Enatsu, 3-4 meters from the Prisoner, showed them how karate should be done, then said Futamata should also try the karate, meaning the Futamata Guerrilla training school. After Itezono said "stop", Ohtsuki released his hold on the Prisoner, walked back. Itezono then rejoined Tomomorei and Enatsu. The Prisoner was then-beheaded by Ohno. |

Statement of Nakao (28 Oct - 5 Nov 1947) Sugino had never attended interrogations, but sometimes Sato, Aihara and Enatsu would. [Marginal Comment: No] In mid May PO Komori came to see Nakao, led him out into the hall, said, "We are going to take the flyer who is wounded in the leg to the University Hospital to perform an experimental operation and would like your help in interpreting.", then led Nakao to a neighboring room where Sato, Aihara and Enatsu were talking. Enatsu said, "Instead of doing that, add another PW Camp especially— for captured flyers in the vicinity - of Nishijun-machi. Here you could put the flyers to work and make them raise their own food so that they would be sufficient."
