Shoichi Yokoi was deployed with the the 29th Infantry Division in the Mariana Islands and landed on Guam in 1943. When Americans took the island in the 1944 Battle of Guam, Yokoi and 10 other soldiers in his group went into hiding. The others were gone by 1964, leaving Yokoi alone. He hunted at night to survive and used plants to make his clothing, bedding, and day-to-day items. He was living out his days in a narrow cave when two fishermen were out checking their shrimp traps along a river and spotted him. They were shocked when Yokoi attacked them. Together, the two men restrained Yokoi and brought him out of the jungle on Jan. 24, 1972.Chicomiranda/Wordpress
