Takasago Volunteers

Takasago volunteers (高砂義勇隊, Takasago Giyūtai) were volunteer soldiers in the Imperial Japanese Army, recruited from Taiwanese indigenous peoples (also known as Taiwanese aborigines) during World War II.[1] The Takasago volunteers are distinguished from ethnic Chinese Taiwanese volunteers.[2]
