The Pacific Stars and Stripes article was initial reporting that may have gotten some names inaccurately. https://www.marines.mil/portals/1/Publications/A%20Brief%20History%20of%20the%2025th%20Marines%20%20PCN%2019000308300.pdf states "Kofuku Yamakage" which matches the Japanese characters which presumably come from the Japanese source.

There are a lot of pictures in a few sections of this article. I think a Gallery section should be created and most of the photos moved there. If not, then perhaps moving each picture to a relevant part of the section instead of having them stacked on top of each other. Isz Chepewéssin ( talk) 01:21, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
Sormando, per WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE, the infobox is for key facts from the article (ie it should reflect content in the body of the article). It is certainly not a repository for every factoid. We are also told that less is better when it comes to infoboxes. You have added tank losses and when reverted, reinstated the losses without establishing consensus per WP:ONUS and WP:BRD.
