Asakawa was an eminent Japanese historian and a pioneer in U.S.-Japanese relations in the early 20th century.
Asakawa entered the College in December 1895, a few months after his classmates -- which, along with the fact that he was Japanese, caused quite a stir, according to the article.
Asakawa's interest in Dartmouth was sparked by the Reverend J.T. Ise Yokoi, pastor of the Congregational Church in Tokyo where Asakawa attended.

Nihonmatsu became interested in furthering the relationship with Hanover because one of its most famous residents, Kanichi Asakawa, who is credited with founding Asian Studies in America, graduated from Dartmouth in 1899.
Asakawa went on to receive his doctorate from Yale University and was the first Asian professor at a major university in America.
In what was described by Kate Connolly, vice chair of the Hanover Board of Selectmen, as the "Asakawa pilgrimage," students stay with Hanover families, then move on to New Haven, Conn., to visit Asakawa's grave and finally to New York City to return to Japan.

 Lupin III: Stolen Lupin at PinkuBentoBox   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Kanichi Kurita in particular impresses me with his Lupin, having only seen 1970s Lupin up to this point, and thus having only heard the late Yasuo Yamada’s rendition of the character until just now.
Unfortuately, aside from those five, there isn’t much in the way of voice talent that stands out, as the rest of the cast is mostly made up of virtual unknowns.
The only real standout would be Yuu Asakawa of Azumanga Daioh (Sakaki ^_^) and Boogiepop Phantom (Nagi ^____^) fame, who performs well as the voice of the much more lively character of Becky.

And the third would be to assist in the publication of monographs and other work begun at the center, including the short monograph that is too long to be an article but too short to be a book.
An example would be a return to an earlier AHA tradition—Kanichi Asakawa's "Life of a Monastic Sho in Medieval Japan" long remained a classic after it was published in the 1916 Annual Report of the AHA.
Research would be basic to the National Center, which would eventually provide about a dozen fellowships each year on the basis of competitive merit for research and writing in Washington.

This lost opportunity to clear up a misunderstanding with Matsuoka about a U.S. peace proposal may very well have contributed to Japan's entry into World War II."
[Trivia: As war loomed, Yale Professor Kanichi Asakawa (the first Japanese in history to teach at a professorial level at an American college) led a campaign urging President Roosevelt to send a personal letter to Emperor Hirohito.
