Russian linguist. Born in Tokyo, he graduated from the Department of Linguistics at the Faculty of Letters of Tokyo Imperial University in 1900 (Meiji 33). The following year, in 1901, he was ordered by the government to study Russian language in Russia, where he studied under Baudouin de Courtenay at the University of St. Petersburg. With the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War in 1904, he returned to Japan in a hurry. Thereafter, he devoted himself to Russian language education as a professor at the Tokyo School of Foreign Languages ​​(now Tokyo University of Foreign Studies), and developed his own systematic Russian language teaching method. In 1951 (Showa 26), he founded the Japan Russian Literary Society and became its first president, contributing to the development of Russian linguistics and literature research in Japan. His major works include the Iwanami Russian Dictionary (1960) and The Stairs of Russian Linguistics (first published in 1916), and his literary achievements in his younger days include The Poetic Master Pushkin (1906). He is also well versed in waka poetry, and has published a collection of poems titled Roshiya Sake (1965).
