Uwano and family about to go through passport control STORYLINE A former Japanese soldier who has not seen his family since he went off to fight in World War II and later adopted Ukraine as his homeland said on Tuesday that he is eager to visit his parents'' graves and see Japan''s famous cherry blossoms. Declared among Japan''s war dead in 2000, Ishinosuke Uwano resurfaced in Ukraine and is expected to arrive in Japan on Wednesday for a 10-day visit with relatives. Speaking Ukrainian and wearing a traditional Ukrainian cap over his grey hair, Uwano told a handful of reporters he has no plans to live in Japan. A Japanese official in charge of locating war veterans lost overseas for the Health and Welfare Ministry says Uwano will visit surviving relatives in Iwate, about 460 kilometres (290 miles) northeast of Tokyo. Uwano was on the island of Sakhalin in Russia''s far east - north of Japan- when the war ended in August 1945, and was last reported seen on the same Pacific island in 1958. He never returned to Japan or contacted relatives there, and in 2000 his family agreed to register him as having died in the war. Japanese Public broadcaster NHK said he was drafted in 1943 to fight in Sakhalin. Uwano, who lives at an undisclosed location in Ukraine with his Ukrainian family, asked someone in his local community to help him track his Japanese relatives, and eventually he was interviewed at the Japanese Embassy in Kiev.
