Tani Yutaka



Tani Yutaka, known as "Harimau" (Malay word for "Tiger") was a secret agent for the Japanese military who died in a hospital in Singapore. His life story has been depicted in novels and on film entitled Marai no Tora. It is debatable that Tani Yutaka is the true "Harimau Malaya" or "The Tiger of Malaya" and not Tomoyuki Yamashita.

Tani Yutaka was born in Terengganu, 1910. He is the son to the japanese family which have their own grocery shop in Hulu Terengganu. His grave is at the Japanese Cemetery Park in Singapore.
