J, The Last Samurai is a different story. Onoda's story is in the book 'No Surrender' but no movie made yet as far as I can tell

Sounds like a character in Michael Murpurgo’s book, Kensuke’s. Kingdom, a very good read for young adults.

Think I may have seen the film! Incredible to think he was roaming around on his own out there for such a long time….the last samurai!
