Kaju Sugiura , was an admiral in the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II.

Haguro (羽黒) was a Myōkō-class heavy cruiser of the Imperial Japanese Navy, named after Mount Haguro in Yamagata Prefecture. Commissioned in 1929, Haguro saw significant service during World War II, participating in nine naval engagements between 1942 and 1945. As a heavy cruiser, she was better armed and armored than most surface vessels, and had multiple battles during her combat career including in the Java Sea, in the waters around the Solomon Islands, and the Philippines. She was sunk in 1945 during a fight with Royal Navy destroyers in the Malacca Strait, one of the last major Japanese warships to be sunk in open waters during World War II. The wreck was discovered in 2010.
