Most Japanese military fought to the death, many of the Japanese civilians including women and babies commited suicide by jumping from the cliffs into the sea
because the Japanese military ran propaganda machine told them the Americans would eat them and their children!! This civilian suicide happened on Iwo Jima as well.
