Is the month and/or day this happened known? I added that the three were African-American since that seems obvious from reading this. — Rlevse • Talk • 18:33, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
According to the New York Times story cited, this incident took place shortly before the end of the war. As such, I've removed the material on the occupation of Japan, as it wasn't actually 'background' to this incident. I have also removed all material cited to the Institute for Historical Review - it's hard to see how a source could be less reliable that something published by that organisation.

Can someone confirm the exact translation of kurombo? As far as I was aware, it translates as (or at least is used as) nigger. But, kuro - black - bo -? Spacecowboy420 ( talk) 10:54, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
I know this is going to upset people, but from every past experience of speaking to Japanese people, Kurombo = Nigger. I am considering a request to move this article to Cave of the Niggers. Please comment here before that happens, as I'm not 100% sure about this, due to the offensive nature of the word. Spacecowboy420 ( talk) 10:54, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
As per comments in talk, I have moved the article. Spacecowboy420 ( talk) 08:07, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
When I open this article in my android Wikipedia app it opens as "1945 katsuyama killing incident" but when I browse the different articles the tab is called "cave of the negroes incident". Is this a bug in the app, or maybe a remnant after a recent name change that hangs? 178.232.194.78 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:52, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
This is the same type of cover up that the Ku Klux Klan pulls when they lynch a black man for having sex with a white woman. And what business do they have naming their grave "Nigger cave?". Why not "Cheeseburger rapist cave?" 2604:2000:1107:8A76:A4F2:E485:D46E:8299 ( talk) 14:27, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
