	WW2DB: Tamon Yamaguchi
		Tamon Yamaguchi was born in the Shimane prefecture in Japan in 1892, and graduated from the Japanese Naval Academy in 1912.
		If Yamaguchis advice had been taken, the US attacks would still have come in, and would still have been able to do damage: but hardly so great as in the actual fact, seeing that the condition of the Japanese carriers would have been that much less vulnerable with their bombers away.
		Yamaguchi saw that the sighting of US ships meant, or at least could mean, that the Japanese approach was known in advance and was already being acted against.

	Battle of Midway-Events of 4 June 1942 (afternoon)
		Hiryu's commander, Rear Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi, was not a man to be deterred by the disaster that had befallen the other three Japanese carriers of the First Carrier Striking Force.
		Yamaguchi was stunned to learn that Yorktown had survived the Battle of the Coral Sea and was one of the three American carriers pitted against him.
		Despite having so few aircraft left, Yamaguchi was determined to launch a third attack on the American carriers at dusk when the prospect of breaching the American carrier defences with such a small attack group would be greater.

	Battle of Midway - Part 1
		It is estimated that VB-3 obtained at least 7 bomb hits which resulted in either the sinking or disablement of the CV as it was left dead in the water and completely aflame, and the damaging of 1 BB and CL.
		Rear-Admiral Yamaguchi Tamon, COMCARDIV2, had seen his command reduced to half with the hits on Soryu, and was determined to pay it back to the US.
		Yamaguchi on Hiryu would not be able to entertain himself with his success.

	Objective--Midway, by Admiral Furashita
		Rear Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi, the aggressive commander of the HIRYU/SORYU carrier division, broke protocol and nearly demanded that Nagumo launch at once.
		Nagumo rationalized that it would be easier to destroy the enemy if all his striking power could be concentrated into one massive attack, so he made the fateful, decisive mistake to delay launching until the Midway strike could be landed and refueled.
		Though we will never know his thoughts, since Yamaguchi went down with the sinking HIRYU later that day, he must have speculated what destruction could have been wreaked on the American carrier fleet if only they had launched all four carriers' planes at the time of his urgent request.

	WW2DB: Tomeo Kaku
		His carrier Hiryu was damaged beyond repair during the Battle of Midway by an American dive bomber attack.
		Before Rear Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi, who had his flag aboard the ship, gave the order to abandon ship, Kaku gave a speech to express his pride in the men while placing the blame for losing the ship squarely on himself.
		After the speech, during a ceremonial meal of naval biscuits and water, Kaku and Yamaguchi shared this conversation:

		One earlier flight had carried a reunion group of people who had lived on Midway in the fifties and sixties, when the atoll was a U.S. naval base and part of the Cold War’s Distant Early Warning, or DEW, line.
		My flight included Munetoshi Yamaguchi and his sister Hiroko Takahashi, who were traveling to honor their father, Rear Adm. Tamon Yamaguchi, who had commanded the carriers Soryu and Hiryu.
		They were part of a small group that was creating a memorial to the Japanese who had perished in the battle, and a Tokyo film crew was along to record the occasion.

	TIME.com: June 4, 1942 -- Jun. 10, 1957 -- Page 3
		With only 18 dive bombers and six Zeros, Rear Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi of the sole surviving carrier, Hiryu, put in a sudden, sharp attack against Yorktown, losing almost all of his aircraft but scoring three hits and starting fires.
		At 1245 Yamaguchi threw in his last ten torpedo bombers and six fighters, remnant of Nagumo's force of 250 plus, led by a lieutenant who knew he had only enough fuel for a one-way trip.
		The result: slaughter for the Japanese planes by U.S. fighters and antiaircraft, but two torpedo hits on Yorktown, enough to cripple her and leave her a mark, two days later, for a Japanese submarine.

	Hiryu
		The order to abandon ship was given shortly afterwards and the destroyers, the Kazagumo and the Makigumo took the survivors off the ship.
		However, Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi and Captain Kaku remained on board as torpedoes from the Makigumo scuttled the Hiryu.
		It sank 4 hours after being scuttled, taking 35 men down with it; another approximately 350 men had been killed earlier on board by bombs, fires, and explosions.

	Vice Admiral Nagumo faces difficult decisions
		While considering these alternative courses of action, Nagumo's deliberations were interrupted by Rear Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi, the aggressive commander of Carrier Division Two, comprising carriers Hiryu and Soryu.
		Yamaguchi had followed closely the reports from the Tone scout seaplane.
		He had thirty-six Type-99 Val dive-bombers in his hangars and he believed that it was extremely dangerous to delay launching an attack on the American carrier sighted by the Tone scout.

		The Hiryu's skipper, Rear Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi, a Princeton-educated officer who was often mentioned as an heir to Yamamoto, launched an immediate counterstrike.
		Admiral Yamaguchi went down with his ship, despite the pleas of his fellow officers.
		He obeyed the traditional values that would inadvertently contribute to the U.S. war effort by sacrificing the best and the brightest of Japanese officers to a code of honor.

	In My View—Autumn 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Second Carrier Division leader, Rear Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi, wanted to attack the U.S. carriers immediately with all available aircraft, whether they carried bombs better suited to hit Midway Island or not, and whether or not they had fighter support.
		In contrast to Yamaguchi’s advocacy of an immediate first blow, Nagumo’s chief of staff, Rear Admiral Ryunosuke Kusaka, recommended a delayed, well-coordinated, all-out grand assault.
		He wanted all airborne aircraft recovered, refueled, and armed with torpedoes and armor-piercing bombs, and the planes already armed to attack Midway rearmed also with torpedoes and armor-piercing bombs.

	The Internment of the Ethnic Japanese in WWII -- Military Justification?
		In his well-researched book "Hawaii Under the Rising Sun" John J. Stephan recounts how Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi, commander of the Second Carrier Division, and second to Yamamoto himself, was advocating a crash program of naval and air construction.
		His plans were to take Hawaii, harass shipping from Anchorage to San Diego with carriers, seize oilfields in California, and he even talked of conducting joint operations in South America with support from the Germans and Italians.
		Yamaguchi's plans sound farfetched now, but this was the thinking.

		Aboard Hiryu at this time was the commander of Carrier Division 2 of the First Carrier Striking Force, Rear Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi.
		Yamaguchi was one of Japan's most able and daring commanders of carrier air operations.
		Undeterred by the fate of Akagi, Kaga, and Soryu, Yamaguchi held course for the expected location of the American carriers, and prepared to launch his own air strike against them.

	Introduction
		Maybe only an aggressive commander like Yamamoto or Rear Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi (commander of the Second Carrier Division) would have been able to carry out the attack on Pearl Harbor to its fullest potential.
		Maybe Yamaguchi, while not an "air admiral", would have followed Genda's advice: Call the tankers from their station northwest of Hawaii and spend several days searching for US carriers.
		Once those carriers were dealt with, the strike force could return to Japan via the Marshall Islands and make repeated strikes on Hawaii as they went.

	Military History Online - Pearl Harbor
		The Imperial Japanese Navy's First Air Fleet was under overall command of Vice Admiral Cuhichi Nagumo.
		The First Carrier Division consisted of the flagship AKAGI, "Red Castle", and the KAGA, "Increased Joy." The Second Carrier Division was under command of RADM Tamon Yamaguchi and consisted of the younger and smaller sisters, SORYU and HIRU, built in 1937 and 1939 respectively.
		Before dawn the next morning, the deck crews were roused from sleep to check their planes and then bring them up onto the flight deck.

	The Claremont Institute » For the Study of Statesmanship and Political Philosophy
		After describing the shelling episode, Malkin turns to Japanese operations in the Pacific immediately after Pearl Harbor and to Secretary Stimson's fear of raids against the American mainland.
		The reader then learns that Admiral Tamon Yamaguchi, a Japanese naval commander, had precisely this in mind.
		Relegated to a footnote is Malkin's qualification that the source from which she drew the episode "states that other Japanese officers were unenthusiastic about Yamaguchi's plan." She does not mention at all that Yamaguchi presented his plan at a conference on February 20-23, 1942, on board a Japanese battleship.

		Frank Jack Fletcher (Robert Webber) is also portrayed in an accurate fashion in keeping with Samuel Eliot Morison’s extensive history.
		Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo’s (James Shigeta) indecisiveness is also accurately depicted, leading to the back-and-forth switching from torpedoes to bombs and back to torpedoes, as was Tamon Yamaguchi’s (John Fujioka) skill as a carrier commander.
		The persistence of Wade McCluskey (Christopher George) leading to the decisive dive-bomber attack that stopped the Japanese in their tracks in a five-minute span also shines through.
