Ichioka was given command of Submarine Squadron 2
very early
in the Pacific War. He later took command of Submarine Squadron 8. His
submarines operated in the Indian Ocean and were accused of war crimes, such as the massacre of rescued crewmen from the tanker British Chivalry. Ichioka worked closely with the small German U-boat force at Penang.
Later in the war, Ichioka worked the other side of the equation on the staff of Maritime Escort Fleet before becoming the last schoolmaster of the Submarine School.
Ichioka was sentenced to life in prison for his
command responsibility for war crimes committed by his submariners, but
was paroled in 1958.
