>> Like Harry and Asko, I received the news of the passing, on July 19, of my old friend Toshifumi from his wife Junko a  few days ago. I was aware of his two year struggle with cancer but the end came as a great shock: in spite of many procedures in various research institutions, the spread of his disease could not be stopped. Even then, he persevered tireless in his work, until the very end, such as with a Japanese translation of his important update of  Old Indo-Aryan morphology and its Indo-Iranian background.

>> As outlined by Harry and Asko, his contributions do not only cover Vedic, Avestan, Indo-Iranian and Indo-European linguistics and philology but also many aspects of the religious developments of these  periods, -- often with surprising new insights that had escaped us for long (Videgha, Yajñavalkya, Varuṇa etc.).
