重要罪行有：

“1942年2月間，我任步兵第163聯隊聯隊長，在河北省保定縣盤踞的時候”，把“逮捕、監禁的中國人約有20名”，“用斬殺、刺殺等方法進行殺害”。“3月左右”，“因京漢鐵路望都站和清風店站中間地區約10公尺的鐵軌被拆去”，“捉了10餘名嫌疑者，經拷問而殺害3、4名”。“5月左右”，“望都附近的鐵路沿線(望都西方約1公里)的一所炮樓發生被八路軍急襲遭覆滅”，“拷問了居民30名，殺了通謀者6名，並將接近炮樓之3棟民房放火燒之”。“6月左右”，因在望都又發生炮樓被八路軍襲擊遭覆滅的事情，“拷問了很多的居民，殺害了5名通謀嫌疑者，並燒了數棟民房”。

1942年5月27日，在冀中作戰中，於河北定縣東南22公里處，“我指使第1大隊殺害了八路軍戰士、居民約達800人以上”，“使用了赤筒和綠筒的毒氣，受到機槍掃射的不只是八路軍戰士，而迷失逃跑路途的居民也被射殺了。又在村裏進行了掃蕩，向逃入很多居民的地道里擲入赤筒和綠筒的毒氣，以至窒息，或者是對感到痛苦而逃出的居民，即施以射殺、刺殺、斬殺等殘酷行為”。冀中“侵略作戰的結果，給與中國人民的損失是：殺人約1100名，破壞房屋10棟，燒燬3棟，把450棟的房屋掠奪使用了10天的時間，並酷使中國人民240名修築8個炮樓(約10日間)”。

1939年1月中旬，在山西安邑縣張良村，“對軍官全體教育説‘為使兵習慣於戰場，殺人是快的方法，就是試膽。對此使用俘虜比較好’ 。‘刺殺比槍殺有效果’”。4月，在夏縣，“我命令第1中隊長……讓部下的9名兵刺殺了俘虜”9名。8月15日，在山西澤州，“我讓把8名俘虜交給第1中隊，把9名交給第2中隊作為教育材料刺殺了”。

1943年春，在河北行唐西北方山區，第2大隊共“殺害八路軍和居民約250人，燒燬房屋約50棟”。“各部隊(前記行動間在各道路行進時之先發部隊)將居民組成探知組，指使他們在前頭走踏地雷而虐殺。”

1944年5月，在河南嵩縣，因一士兵失蹤“逮捕了居民十數名，並殺害了5、6名及燒了十二、三棟房子”。

1945年6月，在河南“由淅川向西峽轉進”期間，“帶着俘虜同行(我想大概有50名左右)，後至豆腐店南方地區，益感前進困難，我命各部隊‘務必將累贅之俘虜殺掉’”，“全部俘虜皆被殺害”。

1944年10月26日，在河南太康附近，“拷問殺害中國人民6名”。12月16日，在黃河北左岸歸德北方地區，“拷問殺害中國人民11名”。

He became major general and commander of the 53rd Infantry Brigade of the 59th Division in June 1945. On 20 August 1945, he was captured by the Soviet Army near Hamhung, the Korean Peninsula。

Major offences:

“In February 1942 when I served as commander of the 163rd Infantry Regiment stationed in Baoding, Hebei”， “I arrested or put into jail about 20 Chinese people” and “killed them through beheading, bayoneting, etc。”; “around March”， “for the reason that about 10 meters of rails were removed from the Beijing-Hankou railway between Wangdu Station and Qingfengdian Station”， “more than 10 suspects were arrested and 3 or 4 of them were killed after interrogation and torture”; “around May, a Japanese blockhouse along the railway near Wangdu (about 1 kilometers west to Wangdu) was attacked and destroyed by the Eighth Route Army”， “30 residents were interrogated and tortured, 6 conspirators were killed, and 3 civilian houses close to the blockhouse were burned down”; “around June”， because another Japanese blockhouse in Wangdu was attacked and destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, “many residents were interrogated and tortured, 6 conspirator suspects were killed, and several civilian houses were burned down”;

27 May 1942: during the battle in central Hebei, in a place 22 kilometers to the southeast of Dingxian County, Hebei, “I ordered the 1st Battalion to kill over 800 people, including soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and local inhabitants”， and “poison gas in red and green canisters were used; not only soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, but also the local inhabitants who lost their way in the escape, were shot by machine guns. We carried out a mopping up operation in the village and threw poison gas contained in red and green canisters into the tunnel where many local inhabitants hid, suffocating many and killing through shooting, bayoneting and hacking those who could not stand the poison gas and ran out。” “The result of the war” in central Hebei “was the following losses on the Chinese people: around 1,100 people were killed, 10 houses damaged, 3 houses burned down, 450 houses appropriated for 10 days, and 240 Chinese people were forced to build 8 blockhouses (for 10 days)”;

Spring 1943: in the mountainous area in the northwest of Xingtang, Hebei, the 2nd Battalion “killed about 250 people, including soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and residents, and burned down about 50 houses”， and “all troops (vanguard troops as mentioned before) organized residents into detection groups and ordered them to go in front of the troops to detect land mines, killing them in this way”;

May 1944: because one Japanese soldier was missing in Songxian County, Henan, “more than ten residents were arrested, 5 or 6 of them were killed and 12 or 13 houses were burned down”;

June 1945: During “the march from Xichuan to Xixia” in Henan, “we took (I think maybe 50) captives along with the troops. When we got to a place to the south of Doufudian, we felt it increasingly difficult to move forward with these captives, so I ordered that all troops ‘must kill burdensome captives’”， “and all captives were killed”。
