following world war ii, saburo sakai ─ the imperial japanese navy's ace pilot who shot down 64 american, australian and dutch fighter planes ─ made more than two dozen trips to america, meeting and befriending many of the pilots he had once tried to kill.
unlike his american counterparts, sakai had no medals or other decorations, with one exception : a small trophy which he won by downing american pilots in a 1971 golf tournament at the american fighter aces association reunion.
sakai later spoke out against japan's invasion : "who gave the orders for that stupid war? the closer you get to the emperor, the fuzzier everything gets. after the war, the emperor should have quit, shaved his head and retired to a temple to take responsibility."
