Ota Minoru had long experience commanding Special Naval Landing Forces, having commanded the force that fought in Shanghai in August 1937. He commanded the forces assigned to take Midway and was subsequently promoted to rear admiral. He commanded the Japanese naval infantry on New Georgia in the Solomons in mid-1943. He and his SNLF troops were successfully evacuated by barge in August 1943. He then commanded Okinawa Base Force on Okinawa, where he committed suicide in his underground headquarters on 13 June 1945, leaving behind a death poem (Feifer 1992);

How could we rejoice over our birth

but to die an honorable death
under the Emperor's flag.
