for what it is worth here is what wikipedia say:

[en.wikipedia.org]

Submarines

Imperial Japanese Navy submarines submarines operated in New Zealand waters in 1942 and 1943:

* The I-25 operated off New Zealand in early March 1942. Nobuo Fujita from the I-25 in a Yokosuka E14Y floatplane conducted reconnaissance flights over Wellington on 8 March and Auckland on 13 March before departing for Fiji.[2]
* The I-21 briefly operated off the northern tip of New Zealand in May 1942. The I-21's floatplane conducted a reconnaissance flight over Auckland on 24 May.[3]
* An unknown Japanese submarine operated off New Zealand in February 1943 [4]

Neither the I-21 or I-25 attacked any ships during their brief periods in New Zealand waters.[5]
