Contact the nearest Japanese consulate or the Japanese embassy in Washington. Tell them how you came by the tag and ask for their advice.
Hi, Being a member of the Burma Campaign Society I was shown a Japanese web site that you can send a photo oif the tag to and they post it on the website in Japan so that people can look at it and possible identify it. Some times they are successful with photos and paybooks. Only trouble with the dog tag is that it states the mans regiment, company, and his service number (right to left), which unlike the UK and US service numbers means very little and the records are almost none existant. It would take a life time to find the correct man. I hve the email link at work so please get back to me if you want it. Cheers and good luck
I would be interested to know of the website as i can help a friend who discovers downed aircraft andsometimes they find the remains with tag or some cases vets retun the souvenirs taken during the war to find a famil member in Japan. It would help to know that web site, Thank you my email wingate@netvigator.com
The assault on Guadalcanal (also known as the Guadalcanal Campaign or Operation Watchtower) is generally seen as the first major loss of territory for the Empire of Japan.
powerful feared by Japanese. looked up to by many people taken hostages.
The Japanese soldiers (and people) were taught that the worst thing they could do was surrender. Thus whole families committed suicide, and hundreds of thousands of Japanese fought to the death rather than allow themselves to be taken prisoner. Peace and cease fire overtures were always rejected by the Japanese, who were willing to sacrifice every person living on the islands during an invasion.
In 1946's 'Tomorrow is Forever' Claudette Colbert plays a woman who remarries, mistakenly believing that her husband was killed in World war One. In 1950's 'Three Came Home' she plays a woman living in Borneo who is taken prisoner by the Japanese during World War Two.
A Japanese internment camp was where Japanese and Japanese Americans were housed during World War II. Japanese Americans were stripped of their possessions and taken to camps with just the minimum needed to live. Even young children were taken.
Australias' northern cities, Darwin and Broome, were repeatedly bombed by Japanese aircraft during World War 2.
About 120,000 Japanese-Americans, 3/4 LOYAL Americans (Nisei).
If you are talking about during WWII, it was because the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and the Americans feared that they were there to kill or bomb them, much like today with people from the Middle East.
The Japanese attack force lost 55 airmen, nine submariners and one submariner was taken prisoner.

He vowed to return to the Philippines after he was forced to leave them to be taken by the Japanese... he felt a sense of loyalty to the army that he had raised there and didn't want to see them slaughtered.

No. The US controlled the Philippines from 1898, when the islands were taken from Spain, until 1947, except during the World War 2 Japanese occupation of the islands. Since 1947 the Philippines has been a sovereign, independent nation.
