@Toshiyuki Shibata

A boss over "miso" and soy sauce in the Asian Continent, always with great loyalty.
I played with him a lot at Middle School. It was he who made me a cheerful person.

Unlike these days, not everyone went on to Middle School (under the prewar system), the current high school.
(In 1940, 25% of junior high school students went on to higher stage of education)
He, Sub-lieutenant Kawai's classmate at Seisho Middle School went on to Accounting Department of Manchurian Military School. (Sub-lieutenant Kawai had been absent from school for one year because of illness. Shibata was one year younger than him.)

("Miso" is fermented soy-bean paste. Calling him a "boss" is because accounting officer was in charge of food control.)
