Japanese Private First Class – Saigo

Japanese Private First Class Saigo
Private Saigo is a fictitious character created for a movie about the Battle of Iwo Jima, but he was definitely a believable character.
Quotes from the movie:
[Saigo’s in a letter to his wife] We soldiers dig. We dig all day. This is the hole that we will fight and die in. Am I digging my own grave?
———
[General Tadamichi Kuribayashi]: You are quite a soldier.
[Saigo]: No, just a simple baker.
