Tadashi Yoshihara (Japan, about 1940)

Tadashi Yoshihara was a recruit of the Imperial Japanese Navy. The portrait is undated, but was taken in the late-1930s or early 40s. He was 17 years old and came from Kagawa Prefecture. The portrait was taken at Port Aiura where he was a raw recruit. Note their are no insignias on his uniform. He almost certainly served in World War II, but we have no details on his experiences. Even though Tadashi is writen first, that is his family name. Japanese names usually consist of a family name (surname), followed by a given name. This naming order is quite common in Asian countries within the Chinese cultural sphere (China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam). In the album where this portrait was found was a portrait was taken of his younger sister in her sailor suit school uniform. We do not know her surname.
