I had not heard that Yamamoto studied in the UK. I know that he attended the London Naval Conference. He studied at Harvard and was a naval attache in Washington. He certainly knew the US. [Perhaps 'UK' was a typo, and you meant to say 'US'.]

As an aside, I was surprised to learn recently while reading his autobiography that retired US Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens was one of the code-breakers responsible for the information resulting in the ambush and death of Yamamoto.
