National Geographics has an awesome thing that shows the moves. I saw it today researching (may 3, 2006) ~*~*~Chels~*~*~ Japanese posed as tourists... took pictures of the bases, ports, and took meticulous notes so the attack would hit all primary points where the US was strongest.

the pearl harbor attacks occurred all throughout 1941, but even before that, it started after japan invaded Manchuria.
The Americans knew of the Japanese plan to attack them, due to decoders. The problem was that the Americans didn't know when or where the attack was suppose to happen. The attack happened well after the Americans received the news that the Japanese were going to attack, so they were caught off guard. No one could really predict it was going to be Pearl Harbor.

Chuichi Nagumo was the Japanese commander of the Pearl Harbor strike force. He played a significant role in the attack. Nagumo, however, refused to launch additional air attacks on dockyard and fuel tanks on Oahu or to seek out two US aircraft carriers at sea. He was never comfortable with the plan to attack the Pearl Harbor and limited his risks.

The Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto .
The Japanese Admirals were Nagumo & Yamamoto. It was influenced by the British attack on the Italian fleet at Taranto in November of 1940. Tora Tora Tora: Great film.

they started to plan on june 8th,1941, they planed to attack on july 24,1941 but due to a storm, the plan got delayed.
Yamamoto planned out the whole plan for the attack on Pearl Harbor. Vice Admiral Nagumo was the fleet commander, with Yamamoto commanding everything from Japan. One pilot, seeing that there was no resistance, squawked on the radio, "Tora, Tora!", which started the attack on Pearl Harbor.
