ชื่อ โยชิโอ ชิโรเสะ 

In the morning on 8 December 1941, nine Ki-30 light bombers of the 31st Sentai and escorted by 11 Ki-27s of the 77th Sentai led by Major Hirose made a demonstration flight over Bangkok. However, as they approach the Thai capital they were intercepted by Thai fighters. Three Curtiss Hawk IIIs of Foong Klap Lai 43 (Fighter Squadron 43) from the 1st Wing, flown by Flight Lieutenant Chin Chiramaneemai, Flight Lieutenant Chai Sunthornsing and Flying Officer Sarit Potivetchagul, had scrambled from Watana Nakorn airfield (in Prachinburi province) in an attempt to intercept. All three Thai fighters were immediately shot down and the pilots were killed. The victories were credited to Major Hirose, Lieutenant Yoshiro Kuwabara and Lieutenant Tsuguo Kojima.
