Thanks, guys. Unfortunately, I haven't received any news since the article was printed.

Anymore Japanese newspapers that I can contact that will likely publish an article in both languages?

You might be able to get some new leads from your father's war records. From the look of things it doesn't seem like you've gone down that avenue yet. Either you or him can request copies of his DD-214 records from the National Archives. From what you've said your father was given this assignment while still on active duty, there is a chance that at least the names could have been recorded; doubtful (but very very slightly possible) that their ranks were recorded as well.
