AI notes: Kitano Point is the northernmost part of Iwo Jima and was the site of some of the fiercest fighting during the final phase of the 1945 Battle of Iwo Jima. While U.S. forces captured Mount Suribachi in the south early in the battle, Japanese defenders made a last stand near Kitano Point, using tunnels and bunkers. The area was one of the last to fall before the battle officially ended on March 26, 1945.
