# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Chūichi Nagumo was an admiral in the Imperial Japanese Navy who led the Kido Butai, Japan's main carrier battle group, through the opening blows of the Pacific War. He struck Pearl Harbor in December 1941, then carried the offensive to Darwin and across the Indian Ocean in the months that followed. At Midway in June 1942, his strike force met a crushing defeat that turned the tide of the war. Reassigned during the Guadalcanal campaign and later posted to the home islands, he was sent to a naval command in the Mariana Islands in 1944. He died by suicide during the Battle of Saipan on 6 July that year.
