General Takima shows a dual character in this story.
On one hand he displays national loyalty which is backed by his awards and recognition in the past.
He shows great human consideration for Dr. Sadao and offers to solve all his difficulties.
On the other hand he neglects his duty for the Japanese Army by not sending assassins to kill American prisoners of war.
He displays self absorption when he hides his failure in preventing the escape of Americans.
He keeps Dr. Sadao for his own treatment and lets other Japanese soldiers die without medical care.
