Re: More IJN Officer Info
Has anyone tried running the Kaigun Jirei Koho through OCR software? The new NLDOCR used for the NDL Lab project seems promising but admittedly it is far beyond my technical knowledge.
On another note, I have been gathering officers for SNLF units at a company level, they are almost always referred to as "buntaicho" 分隊長 in the Jirei Koho but sometimes there are other documents that allow us to figure out which company they commanded. The biggest issue is approximately 50% or more of IJN officers at company level were special duty officers during 1937-1945, so aside from Yokosuka SNLFs, the "buntai" appointment records are very limited. Private unit books can also be used to supplement a lack of data available for special duty officers but it is not easy to obtain them.
Here are some of my records gathered so far:
Yokosuka 1st Special Naval Landing Force (1937, Battle of Shanghai) - Sourced from Takeshita Butai Commemorative Album 1937 (digitization in process)
1st Company Cmdr - Lt Ohashi Otozo 大橋乙三大尉

Company Cmdr - Lt Someya Hideo 染谷秀雄大尉 (note: he was promoted to battalion adjutant and KIA during the assault on Menado)
Company Cmdr - Spec. Duty SubLt Suzuki Shigeji 鈴木繁司特務中尉
Company Cmdr - Spec. Duty SubLt Kawamata Hachiro 川又八郎特務中尉
Company Cmdr (likely Artillery) - SubLt Ogawa Sayumin 小川左右民中尉 (later served on Wake Island and as a battalion commander in the Manila Naval Defense Force, served in JMSDF postwar)
Yokosuka 1st Special Naval Landing Force (Jan 1942, Assault on Menado) - C08030284300 frames 23-59
Company Cmdr, 1st Drop Group - SubLt Mudaguchi Yutaka 牟田口豊中尉 (KIA)
Company Cmdr, 1st Drop Group - SubLt Saito Minoru 斎藤実中尉

Maizuru 1st Special Naval Landing Force (1941, Hainan Island) - Naval Landing Forces Digital Library ref.S009005
Company Cmdr - SubLt Hori Toru 堀徹中尉
Company Cmdr - Spec. Duty Lt Hara 原特務大尉
Company Cmdr - Spec. Duty SubLt Honda 本田特務中尉

Re: More IJN Officer Info
That's definitely an idea worth exploring. Might even shed some light on some ship positions that have blanks in them (Torpedo Officers, etc.).
