Hiroo Onoda was one of the last japanese soldiers to surrender after the defeat of Japan in World War II. He was ordered to lay down his arms on the island of Lubang in 1974 (29 years after the end of WWII).
As he met a Japanese student called Norio Suzuki in 1974, Onoda refused to believe that war was over unless he was ordered to surrender by a superior officer.
Altough he had killed about thirty Filipino and engaged in several shootouts with the local police, the circumtances were taken into account and he received a pardon from President Ferdinand Marcos.
