Kota Takero (Koda Takero) was given command of Submarine Squadron 1 early in 1943. Kota employed his force in commerce raiding in the Fiji-Samoa area with limited success. He was subsequently assigned to evacuate Kiska by submarine, but heavy losses forced the Japanese to evacuate the island by destroyer instead.
