Which Prominent among those who argue for the existence of gold Yamashita is Sterling Seagrave and Peggy Seagrave, who has written two books pertaining to the subject: The Yamato Dynasty: The Secret History of Japan's Imperial Family (2000) and Gold Warriors: America's Secret Recovery of Yamashita's Gold ((2003). Seagraves argue looting which was held on a large scale, by both gangster yakuza as Yoshio Kodama, and the highest levels of Japanese society, including Emperor Hirohito. Seagraves stated that Hirohito appointed his brother, Prince Yasuhito Chichibu, to head a secret organization called Kin no yuri ("Golden Lily"), for this purpose. it is recognized that many of those who know the location of loot were killed during the war, or later tried by the Allies for war crimes and executed or imprisoned.

According to various reports, looting initially concentrated in Singapore, and then transported to the Philippines.
Many people and consortia, both Filipino and foreign, continue to search for treasure sites.

University of the Philippines professor Rico Jose has questioned the theory that the treasures of mainland Southeast Asia were transported to the Philippines:"By 1943 the Japanese were the resource persons no longer in control of the seas ... It does not make sense to bring in something That Valuable Pls here you know it's going to be lost to the Americans anyway. The more rational thing would have been to send it to Taiwan or China. "
Chairman of the Philippine National Historical Society and historian Ambeth Ocampo commented:"Two Myths of the wealth I usually encounter are the Yamashita treasure and gossip That the Cojuangco fortune was founded on a bag of money ..."
Ocampo also said: "For the past 50 years many people, Both Filipinos and foreigners, have spent Their time, money and energy in search of Yamashita's Elusive treasure."Professor Ocampo noted "What makes me wonder Is that for the past 50 years, despite all the treasure hunters, Their maps, oral testimony and sophisticated metal detectors, nobody has found a thing."
Roxas claimed that in Baguio City in 1961 he met the son of a former Japanese soldier who mapped the location of his legendary Yamashita Treasure. Roxas claimed that in the next few years he formed a group to find the treasure. In 1971, Roxas claimed, he and his group found an enclosed space in state land near Baguio City where he found a bayonet, samurai swords, radio, and the order was still wearing the military uniform of Japan. Also found also in the room, Roxas claimed there were 3 feet high statue of Buddha (0.91 m) and gold-colored crates stacked lots that meet the area about 6 feet x 6 feet x 35 feet. He claimed he had opened only one box, and found it packed with gold bullion. He said he took the gold from the living Buddha, which is estimated to weigh 1,000 kg, and one box with 24 gold bars, and hid them in his house. He claimed he was sealing the back room to be stored until he could arrange the remaining boxes, which also allegedly filled with gold bars. Roxas said he sold seven of the gold bars of the box is opened, and seek potential buyers for gold Buddha.
The conclusion was that Roxas had found the treasure, and although the Hawaii state courts do not determine whether this is the original legendary gold treasure of Yamashita.
