Life

3rd Class, the Order of the Rising Sun

Iwao Taki was born on 19 June 1901 in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture.[3][2] On the suggestion of his brother, Isao Taki, he entered Hiroshima Higher Normal School in 1920. He graduated and worked at Denshukan, Fukuoka Prefectural Junior High School as a teacher in 1924.[2][3] The next year, he entered Department of zoology, Faculty of Science, Kyoto Imperial University. In 1928, he graduated and worked in Seto Marine Biological Laboratory.[2] He returned to Kyoto in August, and he founded The Malacological Society of Japan (Japanese: 日本貝類学会), and was involved in publishing the journal "Venus".[2] In 1929, he became an assistant of department of zoology, Kyoto Imperial University.[2] In 1933, he became assistant professor in the Marine Biological Laboratory at the Hiroshima University of Literature and Science.[3][1] In 1950, he was appointed to a professorship of the Faculty of Fisheries and Animal Husbandry, Hiroshima University and became a head of marine biological laboratory.[3][1] He was rarely involved in the graduate research of students because of his position, but he taught Yoichi Kado (1917 - 1985) after the end of World War II.[1] In 1952, he was promoted to professor of the Faculty of Fisheries and Animal Husbandry, Hiroshima University and he doubled as professor of the Faculty of Science, Hiroshima University and the head of marine biological laboratory until the next year.[3]

In 1953, he named one of the meritorious men of The Malacological Society of Japan.[3] From 1961 to 1965, he worked as the branch manager of the Faculty of Fisheries and Animal Husbandry annex, Hiroshima University Library. After retirement, he became professor emeritus of Hiroshima University.[3] In addition, he served as the president of The Malacological Society of Japan from 1963 to 1978. After his term, he became honorary president of The Malacological Society of Japan.[3] In 1966 when he retired from Hiroshima University, he became a professor at Kansai Gaidai College for one year. Subsequently, he worked as professor of Kansai Gaidai University from 1967 to 1968.[3] After that, he was a professor of Kyoto Sangyo University from 1967 to 1978, Kyoto Sangyo University guest professor from 1978 to 1979 and Kyoto Sangyo University part-time lecturer from 1979 to 1981.[3]
