El Coronel Kato es un verdadero oficial que sirve a la Fuerza Aérea de Ejército Japonés Imperial en el Sudeste Asiático. Un oficial muy respetado por sus pilotos por su imparcialidad y su su excelente capacidad de vuelo. Su heroísmo y atractivos atributos físicos hacen de él un instrumento ideal para la maquinaria propagandística japonesa que encargó esta película a dos años de haber sido asesinado el Coronel Kato. No es un biopic de la vida y muerte de Kato. La película es más sobre el honor, el deber y la abnegación – esencialmente del liderazgo.

Hanakosan (1943, TOHO, MAKINO Masahiro), a thoroughly light and joyful musical comedy, influenced by Busby Berkeley films, against the national policy under the wartime, was made into a film from comic serials by SUGIURA Yukio published in a magazine.

The film was produced during Second Sino-Japanese War, before the Pearl Harbor Attack in 1941. The film mainly concerns the training of newly-recruited pilots and their daily life, then their subsequent fighting experiences in China. Army supported the production, providing all the authentic airplanes, training and actual actions. They even provided the older biplanes disguised as Chinese fighter planes. Obinata plays the trainer-turned-combat-leader, who is passionate and cool at the same time. All his boys love him, of course. The film is not as intense, full of sugar-coated camaraderie, until young pilots are killed in action one by one. Last twenty minutes are fairly grim, as the message of self-sacrifice is heard loud and clear.

Hideko, a young Baseball fan, determined to cheer for her favourite baseball team by creating a new song for them.
