The Kaiten program, debuting with the sinking of the USS Mississinewa, marked Japan's desperate wartime innovation: manned suicide torpedoes. Conceived by Ensign Sekio Nishina and Lieutenant Hiroshi Kuroki, the Kaiten adapted the Long Lance torpedo to counteract Japan's declining naval power following key losses at Midway, the Philippine Sea, and Leyte Gulf. Despite initial resistance due to ethical and practical concerns, the program was approved under dire conditions. This study explores the Kaiten's origins, design, and limited success, highlighting the extreme measures Japan employed and the sacrifice of its youth in defending the homeland during the Pacific War’s final phase.
