A short introduction by Eugen Pinak

For many years Hiroshi NISHIDA's web site at admiral31.world.coocan.jp was a great resource for many IJN researchers, who don't speak Japanese language. Nishida made an English language version of his data base of IJN ships and admirals, which greatly contributed to the IJN research in various countries.

Many years have passed, other IJN data bases have appeared (one of them – Jeff Donahoo’s IJN Data Base – is hosted on this web site), but Nishida's IJN Data Base still remains worthy resource.

That’s why I was so sad to find out, that Nishida's web site disappeared from the internet. But I’ve managed to contact Nishida-san, and he agreed to place his site into my web site.

Please, feel free to use Nishida's IJN Data Base for your research.

For the IJN researchers, who don’t read Japanese, I still recommend to browse through “Other materials” section of the part of the site in Japanese. You will find a lot of interesting materials about the IJN here. All in Japanese, but online translators now can do a decent job of translating them. Contact me if you’d like to see any of those materials properly translated into English.
