Best Answer

Hiroo Onoda was a Japanese Army intelligence officer who was in the Philippines during World War II. He refused to believe that Japan had surrendered to the Allies until being found by a young Japanese tourist in 1974. He only came out of the jungle when he was ordered to do so by his former commanding officer.

His story is told in the book "My Thirty-year War."
