What happens

Marai no Tora (マライの虎; lit. "The Tiger of Malaya") is a 1943 Japanese film directed by Koga Masato and starring Koji Nakata and Ryo Akaboshi. It tells the story of Tani Yutaka, known as "Harimau" (Malay word for "Tiger") who was a secret agent for the Japanese military who died in a hospital in Singapore. It is debatable that Tani Yutaka is the true "Harimau Malaya" or "The Tiger of Malaya" and not Tomoyuki Yamashita. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
