Statement of Goiyama (1-8 July 1947) The superior of Goiyama was Adju­tant Tsuno Koga until May 1945, then Ejiro Jin. Koga also had charge of documents and records, carried the most responsibility.

If Kusumoto wasn't there, then Koga would receive documents of importance and send them to the proper section.

Official letters for the CG were written by the senior adjutant, either Koga or Jin, but this was very rare.

Statement Provided By Haruo Minami

Statement of Minami (2 July 1947) Kusumoto was directly above Minami in rank. His superior was the senior adjutant— Koga— until he went to Infantry School in early April 1945 and Kusumoto held this position until Jin arrived in late April 1945. Koga returned to the headquarters for about 10 days in late April 1945, but at that time Jin was serving as senior adjutant.

Medical documents which passed through Message Center designated for the CG would not pass through Koga or Jin, but would go straight to CG.

In late April or early May 1945, Minami sent out a truck to pick up some PWs by order of Koga. Minami believes Goiyama went along on this truck.
