Re: Saburo Sakai
Not my area at all, but what about losses from operational causes in Japan's war against China, which ran from 1937 until 1945? An enormous area of operations and years and years of combat.
AFAIK opposition in the air and from ground defences was slight (other than 14th Air Force?), but surely attrition from all the usual operational causes?
Perhaps some of the 'missing' aircraft can be accounted for via Chinese theatre?
