Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto commanded Japan's Combined Fleet. It was he who insisted on attacking the American Fleet in Pearl Harbor, and who planned and directed the attack. Yamamoto believed this was the only chance the Japanese had to obtain victory in a war with the US. He said shortly after the attack "I fear all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant, and fill him with a terrible resolve."
