Yamato Tanooka : Ally or what ?

Not only is this 7 year old harder than the whole of the RAF Regiment , he's even named after the world's biggest battleship .

Japanese missing boy: How did Yamato Tanooka survive? - BBC News

After being " pretend " abandoned by his parents at the roadside for throwing stones at people and cars ( legend )
he walked several kms alone through possibly bear infested woods , found the Japanese equivalent of Knook Camp and bedded down for a week till they came to rescue him , having found water , but no food .

Now his father is a blubbing mess and the kid is a hero .
 
Pah, if he'd appeared from the woods, forty years later and sporting a ferocious beard, unaware that the war was over - then he'd be properly Japanese.
