  Goro Shimura
Shimura then wrote a long series of important papers, extending the phenomena found in the theory of complex multiplication and modular forms to higher dimensions (amongst other results).
Shimura himself has described his approach as 'phenomenological': his interest is in finding new types of interesting behaviour in the theory of automorphic forms.
The central 'Shimura variety' concept has been tamed (by application of Lie group and algebraic group theory, and the extraction of the concept 'parametrises interesting family of Hodge structures' by reference to the algebraic geometry theory of 'motives', which is still largely conjectural).

 Takashi Shimura - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Takashi Shimura as the doomed bureaucrat Watanabe in [Ikiru].
Takashi Shimura (志村 喬 Shimura Takashi, 12 March 1905 - 11 February 1982) is one of the great Japanese actors of the last century.
Shimura appeared in many of Kurosawa's most important movies - as well as many lesser known ones - in such roles as the lead samurai in The Seven Samurai, the woodcutter in Rashōmon, the main character in Ikiru, and a veteran detective in Stray Dog, just to name a few.

 Eastbay Express: Born Identity-Bay Area Rapper Lyrics Born - www.ezboard.com
Shimura's first exposure to hip-hop came via the Sugarhill Gang's seminal "Rapper's Delight," which he heard, in true folkloric fashion, not on the radio but on the playground -- kids from his school had memorized its endless rhyming verses, and would recite them during recess.
Shimura first made her presence known with her Ooooh baby backing vocals on Lyrics Born's 1996 single "Balcony Beach," lending undeniable soul and sexiness to his sound.
Shimura changed his stage name from Asia Born to Lyrics Born after realizing it was "unfair" to expect him to represent all the diverse Asian cultures.

And it proves that this is roughly compatible with the global Galois correspondence realized on the cohomology of the same Shimura varieties.
The local Langlands conjecture is obtained as a corollary.
Moreover, the geometry of the special fibers is strictly analogous to that of Shimura curves and can be expected to have applications to a variety of questions in number theory.

 Taniyama–Shimura theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This theorem was first conjectured by Yutaka Taniyama in September 1955.
With Goro Shimura he improved its rigor until 1957.
In the 1960s it became associated with the Langlands program of unifying conjectures in mathematics, and was a key component thereof.

 Takashi Shimura   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Shimura appeared often as the lead actor in his films until the late 1950's, when he shifted to playing supporting roles.
Shimura was a favorite of both of Toho's best known directors, Akira Kurosawa and Ishiro Honda, due to his range as an actor and his tendency to turn out solid performances, even when given small roles.
Shimura was an active actor, even into his 70's when his contract with Toho had long ended, and his last role was in Kurosawa's Kagemusha the Shadow Warrior (1980), two years before his death.

 SF Bay Guardian noise - First Wednesday Every Month!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Perhaps Shimura's greatest success is forging a seamless union between his grooves and his skills on the mic.
Shimura's own gift, his rapping style – easily identifiable by his rapid-fire delivery laced with triplets and syncopated shifts of inflection – is hard to pin down, because his approach always changes shape, his cadence seems custom-built for each track, and his tone becomes a floating variable.
Despite Shimura's oddball style, or perhaps as a result of it, "Balcony Beach" was a big hit for Solesides, and if you were around the Bay Area in '97, you heard its dreamy, loping beat, Velarde's sultry chorus, and Shimura's narcoleptic rhymes in frequent rotation on the radio.

However, Taniyama and Shimura suggested that modular forms and elliptical equations were in fact one and the same thing.

 Timeline of Fermat's Last Theorem
Shimura conjectured that every elliptic curve over the rational numbers is uniformized by a modular form.
Shimura declared his conjecture that an elliptic curve should always be uniformized by a modular curve, but André Weil did not believe Shimura conjecture.
Weil had written about the conjecture, modular elliptic curves became know as "Weil curves." After Taniyama's problems became known in the West, the conjecture came to be called erroneously the "Taniyama-Weil" conjecture, and Shimura's name was left out.

 name   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
A native of southern Japan, Shimura was a descendant of the warrior samurai class.
Shimura was seen as the firewood peddler in Rashomon (1950), the dying civil-servant protagonist in Ikiru (1952), samurai leader Kambei in Seven Samurai (1954), the old general in The Hidden Fortress (1957), and in equally weighty roles in Throne of Blood (1957), The Bad Sleep Well (1960), Yojimbo (1961) and Red Beard (1965).
Curiously, Shimura was never under contract to Kurosawa; instead, the actor was a "hired hand" at Japan's Toho Studios, accepting whatever role he was ordered to play.

 Shimura, G.: Abelian Varieties with Complex Multiplication and Modular Functions.
In this book, Goro Shimura provides the most comprehensive generalizations of this type by stating several reciprocity laws in terms of abelian varieties, theta functions, and modular functions of several variables, including Siegel modular functions.
This subject is closely connected with the zeta function of an abelian variety, which is also covered as a main theme in the book.
The third topic explored by Shimura is the various algebraic relations among the periods of abelian integrals.

The Theorem, proved indirectly through the proof of the Tanayama Shimura conjecture, is 200 pages long and involves extremely abstract and technical mathematics, mathematics that only a room full of mathematicians can understand and yet the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem made front page news.
Clearly the public interest in it is not based on mathematics, but on the great story behind the proof.
In 1955 Taniyama and Shimura proposed what is now called the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture that states that "there exists a modular form of weight two and level N which is an Eigenform under the Hecke series and has a Fourier series" (BBC News, Nov. 19, 1999).
