Kikuo Takano
Kikuo Takano (高野 喜久雄 Takano Kikuo, November 20, 1927 – May 1, 2006) was a Japanese poet and mathematician. He was born on Sado Island in 1927. He graduated from Utsunomiya Agricultural College in 1948.
He began to write poems from the day after Japan had ended its role in World War II. Being inspired from surrealism and Heidegger, he wrote poems that ask the meaning of being. He was awarded the Attilio Bertolucci Award for his poetry.
Takano also discovered a Machin-like formula for calculating pi.[1]
