- Colonel Yasuyo Yamasaki (often spelled as Yamazaki)(山崎保代) commanded the Japanese forces on Attu during the Battle of the Aleutian Islands. Yamasaki was a professional Army officer, promoted to colonel in March 1940. Later that year he assumed command of the 130th Infantry Regiment. In February 1943 Yamasaki became commanding officer of the 2nd District Force of the North Sea Defense Force, the capacity in which he went to the Aleutians. He arrived on Attu in April 1943 by submarine. His orders were to hold the island without outside help. The 2,650 defenders under Yamasaki did not contest the landings but rather dug in on high ground away from the shore. The battle produced some of the bloodiest fighting in the Pacific Theatre, similar to the battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. On May 29, the last of the Japanese forces suddenly attacked near Massacre Bay in one of the largest banzai charges of the pacific campaign. The charge was led by Yamasaki himself, who was killed later in the day, sword in hand, assaulting Engineer Hill. His attack penetrated American lines far enough to encounter shocked rear-echelon units of the American force. After furious, brutal, close-quarter, and often hand-to-hand, combat the Japanese force was killed almost to the last man: only 28 prisoners were taken, none of them an officer. American burial teams counted 2,351 Japanese dead, but it was presumed that hundreds more had been buried by bombardments over the course of the battle.
- Yasuyo Yamasaki fue el coronel al mando de las fuerzas de Japón en la isla de Attu durante la Batalla de las Islas Aleutianas en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Llegó al campo de batalla en abril de 1943 en un submarino. Se le ordenó defender la isla sin esperar ayuda externa. Cuando los norteamericanos llegaron a la isla el 11 de mayo, los 2.650 japoneses que defendían la isla se atricheraron en posiciones defensivas elevadas, alejados de la costa. La batalla que siguió fue equiparable a los enfrentamientos de Guadalcanal o Iwo Jima, a lo que hubo que añadir el rigor del clima. El 29 de mayo, a las 3:15 de la madrugada, Yamasaki junto con los 800 hombres que le quedaban de sus tropas se lanzaron contra las tropas aliadas en un ataque suicida cerca de la Bahía Masacre, con la intención de tomar una colina donde estaba la artillería enemiga. Sin embargo, los sorprendidos norteamericanos reaccionaron rápido y enviaron a los agresores de vuelta colina abajo; allí, casi 500 japoneses se suicidaron detonando sus granadas. Yamasaki intentó reanudar el ataque más tarde y murió asaltando una posición defensiva, con una espada en la mano, prefiriendo la muerte a la rendición. El asalto japonés fue tan brutal y desesperado que logró llegar hasta la retaguardia estadounidense. Sólo 28 soldados sobrevivieron, de los cuales ninguno era un oficial. En total 2.351 cuerpos japoneses fueron encontrados, aunque los bombardeos aliados pudieron sepultar cientos.
