4) Is this correct for Navigators?
LCDR SAKAI Kazuo (39) - 15 November 1926 - 20 April 1928 (I have him posted as Navigator of HIEI on 1 December 1927, so from that date the posting to TOKIWA might be additional duty.)

From 1 December 1927, he was Navigation Officer of HIEI. He had no additional post.

5) For one of TOKIWA's Chief Engineers, I have the following:
UTSUMI Hachiro
MAMIYA Chief Engineer - 11/15/33 - 11/15/34
ASAHI Chief Engineer - 11/15/34 - 11/15/35
TOKIWA Chief Engineer - ??? - 11/15/35
TENRYU Chief Engineer - 11/15/35 - ???
KAGA Chief Engineer - 08/15/40 - 10/15/40
That said, was the post to ASAHI an additional duty, or was the post to TOKIWA an additional duty?

MAMIYA Chief Engineer - 11/15/33 - 11/15/34
ASAHI Chief Engineer - 11/15/34 - ???
TOKIWA Chief Engineer - ??? - 11/15/35
TENRYU Chief Engineer - 11/15/35 - ???
When he was appointed Engineer Officer of TENRYU, his previous post was Engineer Officer of TOKIWA. The Engineer Officer of ASAHI was not his additional post at that point.

No one was appointed Engineer Officer of KAGA on 15 August 1940.
Engineer Officer of KAGA:
CDR ISHIZAKI Kan’ichi: ??? - 15 October 1940
CDR YOSHII Tsunekazu: 15 October 1940 - ???

7) Is another translation of SUGURO Nuihei SUGURO Kempei?

The Kanji for SUGURO Nuihei was 勝呂縫平. I do not know whether a reading of 縫平 is Kempei.

8) Is this correct for Surgeons?
(S) LT ODA Ifuna (??) - 12 September 1944 - 9 August 1945 (TOKIWA sunk)

The appointment date is correct.
I do not know the Medical Officer when Tokiwa was sunk.

(E) CDR / (E) CAPT* UTSUMI Hachiro (??) - ??? - 06/04/42 (KIA)

Awesome...thanks! Especially for that date for UTSUMI...been looking for that one for awhile! Two more things:

1) I do not have an officer named KOREGAKI Takashi in my records. However, I do have an officer named KORETSUNE Takashi, from Eta Jima Class 32. Is this the same individual?

2) Is this correct for Operations Officers?
LCDR MURATA Hideo (31) - 1 April 1919 - 15 September 1919
LCDR KOREGAKI Takashi (??) - 15 September 1919 - 2 December 1920
LCDR KISHIKAWA Sanpei (34) - 1 December 1920 - ???

Thanks for clarifying!

I can fill in a blank for you:

Torpedo Officers
LCDR / CDR* MINEKI Shigeru (36) - 1 December 1925 - 1 August 1927 (DIA)

On 1 August 1927, while anchored in Saeki Bay, Kyushu, TOKIWA was deactivating some No. 5 charged mines on her stern. At 0939 hours, one of the mines accidentally exploded, setting off several others and causing substantial damage to the ship's stern. MINEKI and 34 others were killed and a further 65 crewmembers were severely injured.

Question:

Was TOKIWA's Operations Officer at the time of the 1 August 1927 mine explosion a LCDR named NAKABA from Eta Jima Class 38? He was listed as KIA in the incident (and posthumously promoted CDR), and the only place on my list of TOKIWA's Senior Officers that is not filled in (besides specialty branches i.e., Engineer, etc.) is that of Operations Officer. Just curious if you can shed any light on this. TIA!
