The pic is taken When Japan surrendered.
We can see the arm badge of the 8th army in the right and below of the pic.
He is General Robert Eichelberger.
But Who is the Japanese general?

Hi,
This is not that Japanese surrender signatories arrive aboard the USS Missouri.
He is Hatazo Adachi(安達二十三陆军中将)
