Akagi A6M2 Pilots: Hanio,Tanaka,Iseki,Otokuni,Takahara, Osanai

Hello
I have been struggling to fin out more about the following Akagi Pilots that took part on PH attack on 7th dec. 1941, but strangely, I could not find the slightest info available . Their full name is:
-Juichiro Hanio
-Katsushi Tanaka
-Seiji Iseki
-Kikue Otokuni
-Shigenobu Takahara
-Sueyoshi Osanai

strangely, no info available, though they must be considered among the best fighter pilots within IJNAF
Unfortunately, I cannot find on my local store any books (Hata/Izawa i.e.) to acknowledge their fate in the war
Anyone knowing anything about them(date of kia, mia ,wia, operations that took part during which year) please be so kind to share me the informations, because I would really like to know anything about them
Besides, I have the zero kit of Otokuni, and I would vey much like to know about its history.
Kind regards and thanks in anticipation.
Bogdan

Hi George,
May I also introduce you to Angie's BBS:

Scroll to "Japanese Aviation" and be sure to click on the underlined items, too.

You may also find the largest WWII URL on the internet of interest, too, at:

Cheers, David Aiken
