''Kudo wasn't the only Commander or Captain to have rescued enemies and returned them safely. ''

Source? From what I know, Kudo's compassionate act was regarded as abnormal/tratorious by the majority of Japanese during that time (and even still to this date by some right-wing extremist nutjobs). He was the only "known" commander to have actually rescued POWs, treated them as human and returned them to their base.

Considering the fact that IJA/IJN takes no prisoners and are known for their brutality, I highly doubt any other incident such at this actually existed during pacitfic theater.

Add to the fact that you have a whole bunch of ships with war crimes records (Tone, Akiguma, Hachi to name a few) I find such claim very unbelievable.
