	Shibasaki Keiji - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shibasaki Keiji (柴崎恵次) was a Japanese officer and the commander of the Japanese garrison on the island of Betio of the Tarawa atoll during the World War II Battle of Tarawa (November 20–23, 1943).
		He built extensive defenses on Betio to defend its strategically-important airfield, and famously boasted to his troops that "it would take one million men one hundred years" to conquer the island.
		Shibasaki is believed to have been killed on the first day of the battle sometime on mid-afternoon of November 20, 1943: reportedly, he and all his senior officers were killed by naval gunfire from U.S. destroyers while they were walking to a secondary command post away from the front lines on the beaches.

		Tarawa was a sharply curving chain of islands with a heavily defended southwest tip, the isle of Betio.
		Known to Marines as "Bloody Betio," the island was bristling with naval guns, mortars, machine guns, and 5,000 crack Japanese marines under the command of rear admiral Keiji Shibasaki.
