Within days the IJN under Vice Admiral Jisaburō Ozawa were overwhelmed by the US 5th Fleet in the decisive Battle of the Philippine Sea costing Japan approximately 500 aircraft.

His remains were later found by U.S. Marines in the cave where he spent his last days as the commander of the Saipan defenders.He was posthumously promoted to admiral.
