OTOZO YAMADA

'Otozo Yamada' (山田乙三) was the Captain General of the Kwantung Army during World War II and the precursory Manchurian period. He was captured by the Soviet Army at the end of World War II and was accused of involvement with human experimentation performed by the Japanese Army in Manchuria.
The Khabarovsk Trials (1949) indicted Yamada and eleven other military officers, doctors, and veterinarian officers, and sentenced them to 5-25 years in labor correction camps. The surviving prisoners were returned to Japan when Russia and Japan resumed diplomatic relations.
