In 1951, he, along with a colleague, published an account of the Battle of Midway from the Japanese side.

I think there was a movie made based on that account. "I bombed Pearl Harbor"

What I find amazing, is that he survived the war!

He survived because after Midway (where he didn't fly because of appendicitis), he was promoted to staff officer and pretty much spent the rest of the war in an office in Japan.
