Is it true that Japan's Kaiko tethered robot reached the bottom of the Challenger Deep in 1995?

Yes. A Wikipedia article on the Kaikō ROV states that in March 1995 Kaikō became the second vessel ever to reach the bottom of the Challenger Deep. Other sources confirm Kaikō was a Japanese tethered ROV that reached the Challenger Deep in the mid-1990s, though they do not specify the 1995 date.
