On the island, he and others met local people and were handed to Australian troops. During the interrogation, MURAYAMA provided information on the organisation of his own and other Air Corps, cruiser (Yura), aircraft and their weapons, training, operations, attitudes towards capture, and air bases in Rabaul.
