Katsuya Toji, son of Lt. Kentaro Toji, who executed four of the American POWs, prays for the souls of the executed POWs at Jizo Buddhist statues donated by his father in their memory during the closing of a memorial ceremony honoring 42 extrajudicially executed World War II American POWs held at Aburayama Kannon Temple, Fukuoka, Japan, June 20, 2025. Katsuya Toji explained that his father set up four Jizo statues in their garden - one for each POW he had executed, and an additional smaller one so that he could pray for the health of the POWs' children.
