Onoda the implacable holdout of Lubang Island
Hiroo Onoda, Imperial Army officer who refused surrender on Lubang Island from 1944 until 1974, lived decades in jungle. He later surfaced in 1984, received orders to end his post, and faced mixed reception in a Japan that had rebuilt itself. He pursued a new life in Brazil and Japan, seeking purpose while feeling time still scarce.
