Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Yojiro Kimura” as japanese botanist (1912-2006). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1912, 2006, 1953, 1956—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—1912-07-31, 1912-01-01—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. The account is most persuasive where Yojiro, Kimura and Japanese can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as japanese botanist (1912-2006). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q11519134. VIAF identifies the subject as 21016417. The Library of Congress control number is n82000988. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1912, 2006, 1953 and 1956.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
