Precise figures are not possible. There were somewhere between 18,000 and 18,600 Japanese Special Naval Landing Troops ("Japanese Marines") on Iwo Jima. 216 were captured and the rest were killed.

∙ 12y agoA couple of hundred, nearly all of whom were wounded. If a larger figure is given its because Korean laborers were used by the IJA to dig tunnels and other fortifications; and those workers are often mistakenly (especially by televisions military channel) counted as Imperial Troops (sounds better for the media to make the numbers bigger).

How did Americans win the battle of Iwo Jima?
The Battle of Iwo Jima was especially fierce because it was Japan's last "stepping stone", or to be technical, island. It was neccesary for the Allies to conquer the island because the isand that included thousands of Japanese troops encased in a series of heavily armored pillboxes and they would radio back to mainland Japan ahead of time when American bombers roared overhead to wreak havoc among the Japanese. Whatever was on Iwo Jima, the Japanese had had many years, even before the war started, to put it there. Why did the Americans win the Battle of Iwo Jima? The US had much more troops than the Japanese that received more training and were better equipped. Defeat for the Japanese was inevitable.
