That was a very lucky guy. After Midway and the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot there were damn few of them left.

The only Pearl Harbor attacker I can immediately think of, that made it to the end of the war, was Mitsuo Fuchida. He became a Christian minister after the war. Minoru Genda, who actually planned the attack, also survived, though I don’t know if he actually flew over Pearl or stayed aboard ship.

I can’t recall if the legendary Saburo Sakai was at Pearl...I want to say he was not.
