Was the landing of troops on the Hawaiian islands ever considered by the japanese high command as after the attack Pearl harbour was turned into an impreganble fortress. The ja[anese would never have had a better oppurtunity to land troops than they did on December 7th 1941.
I don't think it was considered and I don't think they would have had the lift capacity, particularly since they were more or less simultaneously carrying out landings elsewhere, such as Malaya.
