Nakamura as serving as Provost Marshal when war
broke out. By 1944
he was commander of 39 Army
at Bangkok, which took in Thailand and southern Burma (Tenasserim). This was upgraded
to 18 Area Army in July 1945.
Nakamura was apparently headstrong and inclined to act without orders. For example, he reinforced Burma Area Army with one of his brigades without orders in May 1945. When Thailand was isolated from Japan by the submarine blockade, he seized control of the local economy to make his army self-sufficient in food and clothing.
