I am looking for anyone with a surname Yamamoto who lives in Shizuoko, preferably in Tago. I am helping a WW11 vet return a Japanese flag with a lot of Yamamoto names who signed in the flag. The soldier's name could be Yamamoto Shigeru from Tago. We wish to return the flag to the right family. Please email me: [email protected]. Thank you so much!

Yamamoto is a very very common name in Japan. Shigeru is also common. How about to contact the following site or Fuji city, Shizuoka Prefecrute?(Tagoura village merged with Fuji town to form the city of Fuji in 1954.)

Off topic, but is Karina your real name? Did you teach in Japan?
Good luck with your search in any case. I basically have respect for American WWII vets, and its nice to see them wish to return these relics and bury the past.
Could you post a picture of the flag? It would be a great help.
Any other names you can make out? If not, maybe we can if you post that pic.
