A Russian literature scholar born in Niigata Prefecture. His pen name was Byakko. He graduated from the English department of Waseda University in 1914 (Taisho 3) and the Russian department of Tokyo School of Foreign Languages (now Tokyo University of Foreign Studies) in 1917. He became a lecturer in Russian literature at Waseda University in 1921, but resigned shortly thereafter to dedicate himself to translating and introducing Russian literature. He was particularly fascinated by Tolstoy, and in 1933 (Showa 8) he established the headquarters of the "Tolstoy Promotion Society" and worked to popularize his ideas. His translations include the 22 volumes of "The Complete Works of Tolstoy the Great" and three volumes of "Tolstoy the Great" by Biryukov, and his own book "Tolstoy and I".
