Some context:

May 26, 1945. Corporal Yukio Araki, holding a puppy, with four other pilots of the 72nd Shinbu Squadron at Bansei, Kagoshima. Araki died the following day, at age 17, in a suicide attack on ships near Okinawa. He is the youngest pilot. [ via ]

Yukio Araki was raised in the small city of Kiryu. At the age of 15, he volunteered in the Army's youth pilot training program and went to Tachiarai for six months' training. In February, 1945, he volunteered for a suicidal attack. On May 27, 1945, he flew for his last mission along with many other pilots on similar missions. That day, 175 Kamikaze attackers were sent to attack Allied ships in Okinawa. Two Type 99 Assault planes of the 72nd Shinbu Squadron, to which Araki belonged, destroyed the Allied ship Braine, killing 66 men and leaving 78 of the ship's crew wounded. [ via ]
