Named Japanese dog tag to an enlisted soldier????
Article about: Hello, Could someone help ID this dog tag a friend of mine just bought???? I think this could be a name on the back of it, like in this post here: https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/japan...kina

The name is Asada. When you applied powder to fill in the lines, the two " marks were left unmarked and the third katakana looks like タ [ta]. If you look closely you'll see the katakana is ダ [da].
アサダ
Asada
There are a few kanji Asada surnames:
浅田 425th most common Japanese surname
麻田 3387th most common Japanese surname
朝田 2409th most common Japanese surname
阿佐田 very uncommon

Guy,
Thank you so much, yes you are Right the seller put the white stuff not all the way into every part of the lettering looking at the tag again I see it too… so sadly only his last name „asada“ is on the tag… wish he would have just wrote his name out completely… but it’s still neat to have a little more info on him.

The other side reads 53rd Independent Combat Engineer Regiment, but the problem is that there was no 53rd regiment, only the 52nd, coming after the 43rd. Otherwise there were no independent engineer regiments in the 50s range. So what looks like a 3 can only be a 2.

Ah! I was wondering at that first kanji with the "animal" radical 犭: "Independent" 独立 [dokuritsu].
