It tells the story of Tani Yutaka, known as "Harimau" (Malay word for "Tiger") who was a secret agent for the Japanese military who died in a hospital in Singapore. It is debatable that Tani Yutaka is the true "Harimau Malaya" or "The Tiger of Malaya" and not Tomoyuki Yamashita.^{[3][4][5][6][7][8]}
