What was the Japanese reaction to the Navajo Code in WW2?

by Geeves1097

I'm interested in finding out how the Japanese reacted to the Navajo code in WW2. Were they aware that it was a Native American language? Were they close to cracking the code? All the resources I've found about the use of Navajo code are usually US based and give a US perspective. I'd really like to see a Japanese POV on it.
