Not sure I understand your question. Do you mean "who are the soldiers that were found in the jungle last year ?" If they are not liers or pretenders, they are part of the tens of thousands of troops left over in the Philippines, small pacific islands, etc. at the end of the war. According to the book "Gold Warriors" (discussed in this thread, a whole army of general Yamashita was ordered to stay in the Philippines to hide and protect the gold plundered around South-East Asia that they had not managed to ship back to Japan because of the US naval blockade between Japan and the Philippines.
