00:14Sugoi, nice costume desu ne.
00:16I am, yeah.
00:17I've worn them, I recently went on holiday to Switzerland,
00:20and again, it's a great conversation starter,
00:23people often come up and talk to you.
00:25Even, I, I, because I haven't got any hair, you can see me now.
00:30Ah, yes, dekiru desu yo, sochi no hou ga ii tomo.
00:32No hair.
00:34Looks lovely, nothing there.
00:37Ochabe!
00:38Ichigo kikimasu kedo, dochira kara irashimashita?
00:41Well, I'm from London in England.
00:43Sou desu yo ne.
00:44Ja, koukan you wa nani shi ni Nippo e?
00:46Why did you come to Japan?
00:48Yeah, so I go to the grave to pay respects.
00:54Ohakamairi?
00:56Donata no ohakamairi sharerun desu ka?
00:58His name was Shunsaku Kudo, but he died in 1979.
01:05Yu wa sono kata to dou iu gokankei nan desu ka?
01:08He's a fantastic man, he saved my grandfather.
01:16Hold on.
01:18This is him, this is my grandfather.
01:22He looked like me, when he was a young sailor.
01:26But it was two days, so my grandfather's ship was to battle of the Java Sea.
01:33But it doesn't matter if they're enemies, you should always pick up people from the sea.
01:37So we thank from the bottom of our hearts Captain Kudo, because he's a hero.
01:46Yu no ojiisan to Kudo Shunsaku san.
01:50Futari no aida ni ittai nani ga?
01:53Ano chotto mada iroiro kini naru koto ga arun desu keredo mo.

03:15Good morning!
03:17Pleased to meet you. Good morning!
03:19Nice to see you again.
03:23Yeah, I contacted the British Embassy.
03:25He was able to send me all this information.
03:27He's Yako Rinji Buddhist Cemetery, temple cemetery.
03:31Kawaguchi City.
03:38Okay, we're off.
03:39We're off.
03:41Kawaguchi!
03:42Let's go!
03:50Lymph pumping.
03:51Lymph pumping.
03:52We're going to pump our lymph nodes to get the immune system working.
03:57We are looking for Yako Rinji Cemetery.
04:00Where is it?
04:02Oh, look, there's a flower shop.
04:03Maybe we can get some flowers for the grave.
04:08Hello, Mr. Flower Seller.
04:14Do we have five different colors?
04:16I don't know.
04:20Lovely.
04:21Five pop plants.
04:22Five pop plants.
04:23Five pop plants.
04:24Five pop plants.
04:25Five pop plants.
04:26Five pop plants.
04:27Five pop plants.
04:28Five pop plants.
04:29Five pop plants.
04:31So that's very nice.
04:36I think we'll buy flowers that will die in the heat.
04:43My name is Lily White.
04:45We would like to take a white lily.
04:54There is here.
05:00These are all lilies.
05:03That's fine.
05:06Very good.
05:30Did you hear from your uncle that you were found?
05:35My grandfather never talked.
05:37Like many prisoners, they never talked of their experience.
05:41It wasn't a question of age of the young grandchildren.
05:51I found some reports that a Japanese man saved him, captured him.
06:01The Second World War.
06:08The location is the Java Island of Indonesia.
06:14The Japanese army and the Allied forces are in a fierce battle.
06:21The Allied forces are defeated, and the soldiers are thrown into the sea one after another.
06:31The enemy soldiers are drifting away.
06:34A Japanese warship, the Ikazuchi, is found.
06:40Despite being an enemy, he was rescued.
06:50It's a Hancho.
06:54It doesn't matter if they're enemies.
06:56With Captain Kudo and all his crew.
06:59Maybe under the orders of Captain Kudo.
07:01We'll save them.
07:04The Allied soldiers are saved.
07:14That many?
07:16One of them is Yu's grandfather.
07:19That's right.
07:22He must be transferred to Captain Kudo and his family.
07:26Because without him, I would have had none of that with my grandpa.
07:29None of us would have had any of that wonderful experience.
07:40OK, so here we are.
07:50Do you want to put them down for a while?
07:52That's OK.
07:57He didn't even have to ask.
08:00Hello, sir.
08:04I'm wondering if you know or can show us the directions for the Kudo family.
08:09Kudo's family.
08:11Saved my grandfather's life.
08:14In April of 1942.
08:22Thank you, sir.
08:26Where are you from?
08:27I'm from London, England.
08:29London, England.
08:31Oh, I see.
08:43Mr. Shunsaku Kudo is sleeping up ahead.
08:56Oh, getting close.
08:59Here we go.
09:02Very good.
09:13This is from Suzanne, the eldest granddaughter.
09:18This is from me, the middle, born in 1961.
09:21And this one is from Malcolm.
09:23Malcolm, born in 1967.
09:30And then...
09:36Lily White.
09:38From Sid Lily White.
09:40For Captain Kudo.
09:54KUDO
10:10Show you the photo of my grandfather.
10:12This is the man, one of the men that you saved from the...
10:16after the Battle of Java Sea in April of 1942.
10:20And without your action,
10:22we would not have known our lovely Pop,
10:25as we used to call him, our grandfather.
10:37I remember once he went to Windsor Castle,
10:39which is another royal residence.
10:42And normally the soldier is standing with the gun,
10:46and he stood with a broom like a soldier.
10:49So he used to make us laugh by doing things like that.
10:52Yeah?
11:13And we will not have all our lovely memories
11:17and receive the love of this man
11:20who was a very loving family man.
11:22So thank you very, very much to you,
11:25saving Sidney Lily White's life.
11:30So thank you, Captain Kudo, from the bottom of our hearts.
11:44Konnichiwa.
11:45Konnichiwa.
11:46Hello.
11:47Hello.
11:48Hello.
11:56Did you ever meet Captain Kudo?
12:07Oh, lovely, lovely.
12:09What was his sense of the feeling of the energy of the man?
12:19Oh.
12:27A modest man, maybe.
12:31A humble man, maybe.
12:49OK.
12:58That would be my next wish, I think, the five of us together.
13:04Bye.
13:09Bye-bye. Thank you.
13:17Bye-bye. Thank you very much.
13:21It's a pleasure to meet you.
13:23Arigato. Arigato.
13:25Couldn't have gone better.
13:27From my side, it couldn't have gone better.
13:30Bye-bye.
13:31Bye-bye.
