There are many famous holdouts who have received praise from all around the world for their service. One of them is Hiroo Onoda who retired from service only in 1974 after fighting in Philippines for 29 years as a guerrilla. In the 50s, tens of hideouts were discovered in Philippines and Indonesia in places such as the Lubang Island, Morotai, Mindoro, Jayapura etc. On Guam, people like Sergeant Masashi Ito and Minagawa surrendered voluntarily in 1960. Some of the famous hideouts found in Malaysia are Shigeyuki Hashimoto and Kiyoaki Tanaka who surrendered much later in 1990. They worked for the Communist Party of Malaysia (CPM) which was a revolutionary force adamant about stopping the British from colonizing Malaysia again. Majors like Takuo Ishii fought as a volunteer in Viet Minh against the French troops and died in 1950. Despite there was an anti-Japanese feeling in many countries of South East Asia due to Imperial Japan`s illegal occupation, some of the Japanese holdouts earned respect from the locals after the surrender of Japan for their voluntary service in their national struggles especially in Vietnam and Indonesia.
