Kysuke Eto was a career officer in the Imperial Japanese Navy in the RussoJapanese War and in World War I. He was killed in the HMS160Vanguard disaster of 1917.
Eto was born in Gonohe, Aomori on April 7, 1881, as the first son of a local sake brewer. He was expected to succeed to the family business in the natural course of events under the primogeniture system. However, when he was a junior high school student, he told his father that he wanted to change to a high school in Tokyo to serve in the Imperial Japanese Navy in the future. He is said to have fasted for three days and succeeded in persuading his stubbornly objecting father.
