Narrators: Michio Hazama, Motoyo Yamane
Planning, Composition, Producer: Yasushi Ozono

The timeless masterpiece, the film "Rocky." Michio Hazama, a voice actor who has captivated audiences in the world of film and television with his various roles, including dubbing the lead role of Rocky Balboa, is now 92 years old. He uses his voice to express even the deepest emotions of Shoichi Yokoi, the legendary Japanese soldier who remained in the country after World War II. Yokoi's 28 years of wartime life in the jungle. Hazama, known as the "world's oldest active voice actor," delivers a deeply moving narration.

Meanwhile, former NHK announcer Motoyo Yamane objectively recounts the "Battle of Guam," in which Yokoi served. Her gentle yet profound narration has honed her skills in a wide range of programs, including TBS Sunday dramas "Hanzawa Naoki" and "Roosevelt Game." This film marks the first collaboration between two voice actors and narrators hailed as "legends."

Why did Yokoi hide in the jungle for 28 years and overcome such hardships? This is revealed through the "medical records" unearthed by CBC during their investigation. Furthermore, the secrets of the "grave," said to hold the feelings of Yokoi's mother who passed away before seeing her son's return home, will be revealed in detail by Professor Shinji Hata of Yasuda Women's University, the nephew of Yokoi's wife, Mihoko.

CBC Television has meticulously filmed Yokoi's true character since his return to Haneda Airport on February 2, 1972, and the excitement of his return to his family home in Nagoya on April 25th—relive it once again…

2026 will mark 85 years since the start of the Pacific War. The life that Shoichi Yokoi, who returned alive, carried is heartbreaking… That war was undeniably a foolish act. The war currently raging in that country is the same.

It would be the greatest reward for the producers if you could consider this [Shoichi Yokoi Compilation], which brings together CBC's past film footage.
