This Japanese pilot is credited with shooting down the first Allied bomber to fall in the Pacific and personal believed he may have shot down the last American plane downed in World War II, around the time of Japan's surrender.

Name the Japanese pilot.

As a bonus what was so unique about him at war’s end?
