Suzuki came to Lubang Island alone and opened the door for Onoda’s new future. And then, the Philippine’s former President Marcos gave him amnesty and pushed him to the current world at that time. After that, in Japan, the Japanese people supported his new life. In Brazil, the Brazilian people helped his new business. He had been feeling the blessing from the current society which was as great as the great nature.

Onoda concluded that people cannot live alone, people should appreciate the blessing from nature and society, and people should live to its fullest towards the societies or nations every day until their death.

Hiroo Onoda died from phenomena at 91 years old in Tokyo in February 2014. His life was very enriching and vast. His staying on Lubang Island for about 30 years and his working in Brazil for a few decades indicates the importance of the responsibility for our work. He was commended for his contribution by the Brazilian Air Force and made an honorary citizen by Matto Grosso City in 2004. He also received a medal for his contribution to youth development by the Japanese Empire in 2014.

He had a strong sense of responsibility for his mission and to his work; he was dedicated and patient and contributed to nations and societies. In addition to that, he had an air of royalty his nation; therefore, he seemed to be almost like a Samurai appearing from Japan’s past.

Hiroo Onoda became a page of human history, with the name of The Last Samurai.
