The "follow up" option doesn't work at my site, so I can only send my
response by mail...

Although I know that Yamamoto had many admirers in his hometown
and in the military, I don't think that the majority of Japanese
would be interested in him. If you conduct a survey in Japan now,
you might find that the younger generation in Japan tends to be 
ignorant about him...

I have been Tar-mar Rei-ein (Tamar Graveyard, in suburb Tokyo)
couple times...  Yamamoto Isoroku and other famous Japanese naval
commanders (e.g., Togo Heihachiro --- the GF commander of
Russo-Japan sea battle) have been resting there for years.
There were fewer than 3 visitors each time I was there...
Perhaps only people who are interested in the military history 
would remember him/them...
