Are you referring to the 2005 reunion photos - the one with the 2 asian women pictured?  If so, the younger woman on the left (in her 30's perhaps) is the granddaughter of Mochitsura Hashimoto - the commander of the Japanese submarine I-58 which sank the USS Indianapolis.   He died in 2000 at the age of 91, having spent the last years of his life as a Shinto priest in Kyoto Japan.   His granddaughter has attended several reunions in the past several years and she now lives in the United States with her husband and young children, who attend the reunion with her as well.
