On combinedfleet website we can read that in the morning (6:30) of 7th of May Kamikawa Maru dispatched several floatplanes from Deboyne.
I tried to confront this information with Kamikawa Maru Sento Shobu:

There come my doubts:
How many planes were send that day?
What was the name of those float planes (Jakes or Petes)?
In JACAR I can read that there were 3 planes but they left Deboyne seperately - 4:30, 5:30, 13:30 (Tokio time).
Any clues my friends?
