Unknown to him, as he was preparing for the assault of Japan, he had a brother who was drafted in the Japanese Army who was preparing Kyushu's defense. Following the conclusion of the War he was sent to Japanese prisoner camps where he had to tell them of the bombing and the emperor's surrender. About a month following the surrender of Japan during the beginning of the occupation he secured authorization to look for his mother and three brothers in Hiroshima. He eventually found them, suffering from the effects of radiation from the bomb, and after trying to get his older brother into an American military hospital, that brother succumbed to radiation poisoning, but his mother and two younger brothers survived.
