He is not listed, unfortunately, in the Meikan. It is possible he used a different mei and is listed elsewhere but without further research it is not certain if that is the case. He worked in present day Yamaguchi Prefecture, an area not exactly overflowing with smiths during the war. The nakago is nicely done so I expect he had training and was a skilled smith....
