Ahh yeshhh, Bungo Pete, first introduce to the General Public by Commander / Captain Edward L. Beach, Jr. in "Run Silent, Run Deep":

"During their first war patrol in the Walrus, they encounter the Japanese destroyer Akikaze, skippered by Captain Tateo Nakame (nicknamed "Bungo Pete"), who is responsible for sinking a series of American submarines in the Bungo Suido, including the USS Nerka, commanded by a close friend of Richardson's."

Quite a story.
