Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - Ko te wā tuatahi i kite ai rātau i tētahi puka e whakamōhio ana kua tukua a Hāpana
i te Oketopa o te tau 1945; i patua e tētahi atu pūtau he kau, ā, i kitea he panui i waiho e ngā tāngata o te motu e kī ana: "I mutu te pakanga i te 15 o Akuhata. Heke iho i te maunga!" Heoi, kaore i whakawhirinaki ki te panui. I whakatau rātau he poroporoaki a te Rōpū, ā, i whakapono rātau kāore rātau i whakaekehia mēnā kua mutu te pakanga. I te mutunga o te tau 1945, ka tukuna mai e te hau nga panui me te whakahau tuku i taarua mai i a General Tomoyuki Yamashita o te Ope Taua tekau ma wha. Ki nga tangata i huna mo te ono marama, ko tenei panui anake te tohu i a ratou kua mutu te pakanga. I āta tirotirohia e te rōpū o Onoda te puka ki te whakatau mēnā he pono, ā, i whakatau kāore.
