LT TAKEDA Eiichi (Res.) - 20 March 1944 - 5 August 1944

The name of LT (Res.) TAKEDA Eiichi was incorrect. LT (Res.) 打田栄一 UCHITA Eiichi is correct.
According to page 26 of JACAR C13072096800, LT (Res.) UCHITA Eiichi was appointed Naimucho on 20 March 1944.
According to page 42 of JACAR C13072100600, LT (Res.) UCHITA Eiichi was attached to Mizuru Naval Distinct on 20 August 1944.
So I think he survived the sunk of TSURUMI.
