Baba Masao commanded 53 Division at the outbreak of war in the Pacific.  He was transferred to command of 4 Division in Sumatra in 1943 and promoted to command of 37 Army in Borneo in 1945, where he was heavily involved in anti-guerrilla operations in the interior.  He was hanged as a war criminal in 1947 for mistreatment of prisoners of war in north Borneo (the "Sandakan death marches.")

Although the two have sometimes been confounded, Baba Masao was likely not the officer who took command of the Kempeitai in Manila in January 1943. The latter was most likely Baba Kamekaku.
