I Interview Imperial Japanese Holdouts (Reenactors Allegedly)
Ойын-сауық
In this episode I sit down with three Imperial Japanese Army Reenactors. The IJA culture of reenacting is one I have very little knowledge on. It was a treat to have them out for the Thompson video, and I couldn't resist the chance to show them off with the kit some more!

These guys are a service to history. It's always a good day when misunderstood or underexplored areas and moments in history get some exposure.
Actually out surviving on Okinawa in this kit is pretty insane and impressive tbh
Not Japanese, but the premise is badass, historical friend or foe aside.

Same here, and understanding all history is educational, is my go to.👍🏻Very cool they're here in the U.S. I hope to see interest in their group grow into something much larger. A foundation or the like.
Extremely impressive to go to that level of research and archival detail, mad props to their organization.
I was part of a huge reenactment of Iwo Jima in Doss Texas for one of the anniversaries back in the mid 2000s, they even flew in approximately 80 Japanese reenactors....those reenactors were absolute studs, speaking japanese, never out of character, etc. Great memories and we even made the Houston Chronicle. I was a corpsman in the reenactment and had an absolute blast.
It was really cool you just kinda let them talk about what they do and know

I’m of Taiwanese/Chinese descent. Despite my family’s…admittedly graphic…history with the Japanese Empire, I think this is a really cool reenactment topic. I heard about these guys a few months back and I think they’re stuff looks awesome! More power to these guys. They have my support. Now if we could get some ROC reenactors… Edit: Just visited their instagram, there are in fact ROC reenactment groups apparently!

Taiwan at the time was viewed as a "model colony" of Japan and IIRC quite a few Chinese people from the island served in the IJN/IJA.

Rich historical textures, dedication, very fascinating.
This is so freaking dope. I study a lot of WWII history and never get enough info on the IJA side. This is awesome.
This could have been two hours and I'd still gladly watch every bit of it. Love seeing young, enthusiastic historians!

yes. I wish it was longer. I don't know anything about Japanese kit
I love their dedication to the history. Especially the whole bit about not wanting people that are overweight or will wear the uniform sloppily. Historically, it is the Emperors uniform, so it must be worn with pride and respect. Absolutely loved it!!
this gives off spicy war crimes vibes

These guys definitely need their own channel. I hope they make one. Or at least you get them back on a couple more times, or they make the rounds and get on other peoples channels. I meed more of them. That nerdy humor.

Bro this is so underrated, shout out to the reenactors on this video!
This was a dope deep dive. I never knew they had IJA reenactment squad's.
I heard from the C&Rsenal video on the type 38 that the noisy dust cover myth comes from when the American soldiers had to dump all the parts together for some reason (being used to interchangeable parts,) they reassembled them with mismatching components. This lead to the clangy dust cover myth as they were originally fitted very well to the specific gun.
I am so happy you are doing this.
Not really big into reenactment, but the attention to detail and respect they have for history is unreal. Respect to them and keep rockin
I have a close friend, shobu, who does IJA/IJN reenacting and its very dedicated honestly, these people are very informational and love explaining it. I highly reccomend anyone going to a living history event or reenactment to always talk to the IJA/IJN guys, especially if they are young. older ones are like any old reenactors but the young ones are the true fire bearers of the IJA/IJN history now.

My uncle fought against the Japanese at Guadalcanal. At first the family back home only knew he was somewhere in the Pacific. Any correspondence home that mentioned where he was stationed was censored so that if the letters fell into enemy hands the enemy could not get an estimate of troop strength. Then the family noticed that his letters home were all signed with a different middle initial in his name. They put the letters in chronological order and the middle initials began to spell out G U A D A L C A N A L.
I would like to have more details on that Indochina part, were the japanese soldiers were re-armed by ww2 allies to fight against the vietminh. When the French arrived they actually thought that they were fighting against remnants of the IJA where in fact they were engaging the vietminh.

The funniest ones were the IJ guys who joined the VM forces and ended up fighting remobilized IJ dudes who were conscripted by the western armies. It's literally the Charlie and Mac "always sunny" meme.😂

Indonesia. Initially kept in barracks and not de-armed and still officered by their own, then used by the British and Dutch to quell initial uprisings. Then, many IJA units that had good relations with their Indonesian trainee troops purposely left their weapons and ordinance for the Indonesian freedom fighters to fight the Dutch. Several thousand IJA and IJN staid behind to train, fight, and lead Indonesian National forces. Several hundred were killed in fighting and listed as Indonesia National heroes. There is a huge monument to them in Jakarta at their national cemetery (Arlington equivalent). Many hundreds staid behind after the anti Dutch colonial war to make lives there in Indonesia. The Indonesian Navy was basically formed and encultured to a certain degree by those left behinds. Vietnamese Viet Minh forces as well had hundred of voluntary stay behinds as well fighting the colonial French. Though most of those were killed or were repatriated at some point.
This video is so damn cool! As a former reenactor I perfectly know the dedication needed, and they are topping it! Really great work!
Amazing episode. More LARP units plz..
Dude wow. These guys are so sick. I wish more people would do IJA kits. It’s so much more interesting than German impressions in my opinion.
07:50 fun fact there was a Japanese Wermacht unit and also some asian were in the army example the son of the China leader Chang Kai Sheck was driving Panzer and was partecipate to the anschuluss

Solid impressions! I love the level of research they dived into.
I believe people in general are beginning to forget about the intensity of WWII and the lessons learned. I'm all about this direct representation of history being available. Wonderful work.
Epic mic holder, and hitting with a unit 731 joke off the bat is great
These guys are great,love re-enacting. I did American civil war for years and the group I belonged to were hardcore, down to the salt pork and hardtack sleeping on the ground with nothing but a blanket. Hats off to you guys !!!

That’s really cool! I remember seeing hardtack samples in the maritime museum in Norfolk, Virginia. That still haunts me knowing people had to eat that. I really hope you guys ate yours with stew or some other form of liquid.
There's nothing better than watching someone enthusiastic in their craft "geek out." They were well informed, well spoken, and entertaining. Bravo!

It’s always good to discover new reenactment groups that are fun and high quality. Finding rivet-counters who make rivet-counting fun *and help others who want to try and improve their kit* makes it even better :-)
