Jenderal Yamashita baru resmi menyerah kepada Pasukan Amerika Serikat di Keangan, Luzon pada 2 September 1945. Kemudian pengadilan militer Amerika Serikat di Manila menyidangkan Jenderal Yamashita atas tuduhan kejahatan perang berupa pembantaian brutal oleh Pasukan Jepang di Manila yang terjadi pada awal Maret 1945 yang terkenal dengan sebutan Manila Massacre. Proses persidangan ini berlangsung mulai dari 29 Oktober sampai 7 Desember 1945. Setelah diputus bersalah dan dijatuhi hukuman mati maka pada 23 Februari 1946 dilaksanakan hukuman gantung bagi Jenderal Yamashita di Kamp Tawanan Los Banos, sebelah selatan Manila.
