Minoru Yoneyama
- ... that before Minoru Yoneyama founded Yonex, he was a member of a Japanese suicide unit during World War II? Source: "he entered into business after being released from a prisoner of war camp in Okinawa. He was part of a Japanese suicide unit meant to ram explosive-laden boats into American transport ships, but never received an order for a mission."

Hi Zanhe, review follows: article created 2 December (earlier article was deleted in 2005 as a copyvio); article exceeds minimum length; article is adequately well written; article is referenced inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't notice any overly close paraphrasing from the source material; hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and backed up by reliable sources; QPQ has been carried out. Looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 16:27, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
