Yamamoto Isoruku - "Uniform" Collection
Imperial Naval Academy Cadet, Summer Uniform, 1901
In 1901, at 17 years old, Takano Isoruku, the son of a school teacher from an impoverished samurai family, entered the Academy to take naval officer courses after passing the candidate exam with the second best result among other candidates from all over the country. That was the only way for an ambitious young man to leave the country, poverty, and a lack of prospects behind.
At the Academy on Etajima Island in Hiroshima Bay, a strong Spartan spirit prevailed. Rigorous discipline was best for achieving the leadership potential of the future admiral. His small height didn't prevent him from great achievements in sports and the kendo martial art. His willingness to learn helped Takano Isoruku become one of the Academy's best graduates in November 1904.

Kaigun Shōi Kōhosei (Midshipman), 1905
Takano Isoruku graduated from the Naval Academy in Etajima in November 1904, in the midst of the Russo-Japanese War. Before getting his first assignment as an officer, he needed to serve on a warship for some time. The future naval commander was commissioned on the armored cruiser Nisshin, which was included in the main task force of Admiral Togo.
Speaking later about his combat debut during the Battle of Tsushima, Yamamoto said: "A shell hit the only operating 8-inch cannon with terrible force. The smoke cloud cast a pall over the front of the ship, and I felt that I was trapped within the whirlwind. I was thrown for several steps. The range tables disappeared from my neck, and two fingers on my left hand hung loosely by just the skin."

Kaigun-Shōsa (Lieutenant Commander), 1916
In 1916, Lieutenant Commander Takano Isoruki, a promising young officer, was adopted by the Yamamoto clan and received the surname by which he would be come known all over the world. This practice is common in Japan. The rich and influential Yamamoto clan didn't have a male heir, and Takano had several elder Isoruku brothers and little chance of becoming head of the Takano family.
After successfully graduating from the Naval War College, Yamamoto Isoruku was assigned to Second Fleet headquarters in December 1916. Patrolling the waters near Southeast Asia and fighting against raiding German cruisers were the main goals of his division.

Japanese Imperial Navy Pilot, Flying Suit, 1925
Impressed by the success of aviation he saw during service in the United States between 1919 and 1921, Yamamoto Isoruku realized its potential in naval battles and tried to get assigned to an aircraft division. In September 1924 he was transferred to an air group in Kasumigaura, the first Japanese aviation school established in 1922 with assistance from the United Kingdom. Soon, Yamamoto was assigned as the Senior Officer of the school.
Professional pilots were hostile to the outsider. However, Yamamoto's passion for learning all the secrets of aviation and support of the same inclinations among his subordinates let him gain authority and respect. Some sources state that the future admiral also mastered the art of plane control and took a few flights. Ōnishi Takijirō, the Japanese naval aviation legend, was one of Yamamoto's brothers-in-arms.
