Teramoto Kumaichi was commissioned in the infantry in 1910 and graduated from the Japanese War College in 1921. He held numerous air staff assignments and was commander of 2 Air Division in Manchuria at the time war broke out in the Pacific. He was given command of 4 Air Army in July 1943, and he saw much of his command destroyed by the Allied raids on Wewak the next month. He returned to staff duty in August 1944 but committed suicide at the time of the Japanese capitulation.
