Kinji Imanishi (今西 錦司, Imanishi Kinji, January 6, 1902 – June 15, 1992) was a Japanese ecologist and anthropologist. He was the founder of Kyoto University's Primate Research Institute and, together with Junichiro Itani, is considered one of the founders of Japanese primatology.[1]

Early life and education

Kinji Imanishi was born and raised in Kyoto, Japan.

He majored in biology and was awarded Doctor of Science in 1939 from Kyoto Imperial University. His doctoral dissertation was titled "Nihonkeiryu-San Kageroumoku" (日本渓流産蜉蝣目, Mayfly in rivers of Japan).

Research

Imanishi and his students did foundational research on the behavior and social life of semi-wild horses[2] and later of macaques,[3][4][5][6] identifying individuals and making detailed observations on them over generations.[7] This has led to important insights into animal culture.[8] Imanishi introduced the Japanese term kaluchua[9] which was later translated by Masao Kawai and others to refer to socially learned behaviors as "pre-culture".[10][11][12][13]
