Talk:Kiyosi Itô

transcription of his name
I created the page using the romaji transcription Kiyosi Itô from the MacTutor article. But now I found Manual_of_Style_for_Japan-related_articles and I think the more correct transcription using the Hepburn romanization would be Kiyoshi Itô. So I moved the page. MathMartin 14:34, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * The Hepburn spelling is "Itō Kiyoshi" with a macron, not a circumflex. -- 70.51.202.113 (talk) 04:39, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

I spoke to a number of people who knew Itô personally. They all concurred that he wanted his name to be spelled Kiyosi Itô. As a matter of fact, he actually had quite a strong opinion about it and sometimes complained when people misspelled his name. He chose this spelling before Hepburn romanization was agreed as a standard. If I get no objection within the next few days, I will revert to his preferred spelling.

Never at Cornell?
The article says he was a professor at Kyoto from 1952 until 1979. However, his daughter Junko told me once she went to high school in Ithaca, New York, suggesting that for some time at least he was probably a professor at Cornell University. Can anyone confirm or deny? (I suppose it's possible she was just an exchange student.) —Angr 12:58, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Googling "Kiyoshi Ito cornell -wikipedia" finds:
 * Although Ito remained as a professor at Kyoto University until he retired in 1979, he also held positions as professor at Aarhus University from 1966 to 1969 and professor at Cornell University from 1969 to 1975.
 * He also held a string of lectureships at institutions as august as Cornell and Princeton, where he began his US career in 1954.

Kiyoshi Itô → Kiyosi Itô – This would be consistent with Itô's preferred spelling of his own name, as pointed out by Hairer above. Sullivan.t.j (talk) 21:16, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Support MOS:IDENTITY use the circumflex and the "s" instead of "sh"/macron -- 70.51.202.113 (talk) 04:40, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
