Matome Ugaki was a vice admiral in the Imperial Japanese Navy. He commanded battleships through the Battle of Leyte Gulf. After Leyte, he was assigned to lead the Navy's component of air defense of the home islands, focused on kamikaze tactics.

Immediately after the surrender of Japan, he joined a kamikaze mission, against Imperial orders. It is not known to have attacked U.S. units, which might have restarted the fighting; his exact place of death is unknown.
