Graduates or faculty members of Japan's old Imperial University account for more than half of the Asian Nobel Prize. Among them, Tokyo University, Kyoto University and Nagoya University have produced the most Nobel Prize winners in Japan and even in Asia.
Kitasato Shibasaburo and Hideki Noguchi were the first Japanese to be nominated for the Nobel Prize. However, the 190 1 physiology or medicine prize was only awarded to emil adolf von behring, ignoring Bailey, who developed serum therapy with him and led antitoxin research, which made the Nobel Prize discriminatory from the beginning.
1926 the wrong theory that the physiology or medicine prize was awarded to Johannes Phoebe ignored the fact that the first man who artificially induced cancer in the world was Shan Zhi saburo and Hiroichi Shikawa. Because the judges advocate "don't let the yellow race win the prize too early." Now, in the Nobel Prize for Cancer Research introduced by British Encyclopedia, only Yamagata's achievements are mentioned, and Phoebe's case is completely deleted.
1929 chemistry prize ignored Baitaro Suzuki, the first successful thiamine extraction in the world, because the German translation of Suzuki's paper was not promoted as "the first case in the world".
From 195 1 to 1963, six people were nominated for the physics prize and the chemistry prize. Later, the physics prize of 1969 was awarded to Murray german alone, while Kazuhiko Nishijima, who proposed the german-Nishi relationship, was ignored. The chemistry prize of 1996 ignored Daiwa Hideyoshi, the first person in the world who predicted the existence of C60 molecules, because Daiwa's paper was not translated and the judges did not understand Japanese. Because neutrino oscillation was discovered in 1998, Yoji Tozuka, who was considered "sure to win the prize", never won the prize in his whole life.
Until 2 1 century, the Japanese were still missed by the Nobel Prize for many times. Because Japan's scientific strength has been underestimated for a long time, many Japanese have not been nominated or missed.
