Gematria Values
Admiral Yamashita Tomoyuki (山下 奉文, Yamashita Tomoyuki, 8 November 1885 – 23 February 1946) was a Japanese military commander during World War II. He is best known for his leadership in the conquest of Malaya and Singapore, earning the nickname the "Tiger of Malaya." Yamashita's rapid and successful campaign in Southeast Asia is often cited as a masterpiece of military strategy. However, his legacy is also marred by the atrocities committed by his troops, notably the Manila massacre in 1945. After the war, Yamashita was controversially tried and executed for war crimes, despite his lack of direct involvement in the atrocities. In Hebrew, his name can be transliterated as אדמירל ימאשיטה טומויקי. In Japanese, his name is written as 山下 奉文. In Chinese, he is known as 山下奉文 (Shānxià Fèngwén).
