Mochitsura Hashimoto
was an officer and a submarine commander in the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. He is best known as the captain of Japanese submarine ''I-58'', which sank the in 1945.
Born in Kyoto and educated at the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy, Hashimoto volunteered for service in submarines and was later aboard submarine ''I-24'' during the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Hashimoto commanded coastal patrol and training submarines off Japan for much of the war, and in 1944 took command of ''I-58'', a ship which was equipped to carry ''kaiten'', or manned torpedoes. After a number of unsuccessful operations, ''I-58'' sank the ''Indianapolis'' on 30 July while on a midnight patrol. Hashimoto's submarine then returned to Japan, one of the few such ships to survive the war. Hashimoto was then called to testify at the court-martial of Charles B. McVay III, the ''Indianapolis'' commander, a move which was controversial at the time. He was later part of an effort to exonerate McVay. Hashimoto later became a Shinto priest. He died in 2000.
