Teruto "Terry" Tsubota was a second-generation Japanese-American, or Nisei, from Hawaii, who was credited with saving hundreds of Japanese lives while serving as an Military Intelligence Service combat translator with the 6th Marine Division during the Battle of Okinawa in 1945.

Tsubota remains a hero to the residents of Okinawa as the man who prevented many of the suicides of scared civilians hiding in the caves. In 2004 he was one of the honored guests at the 59th anniversary of the Battle of Okinawa held in the Okinawa Prefectural Peace Memorial Museum in Itoman.
