Hideki Richard Okada (2 July 1945 – 4 April 2012[1]) was Professor of Japanese at Princeton University, in the East Asian Studies Department. He was a specialist in the Tale of Genji, and his most recent work was editing a three-volume collection of academic essays about the novel. His doctoral degree was from the University of California, Berkeley.
His 1977 doctoral thesis, Sagoromo monogatari: a study and partial translation,[2] has been called "one of the most important contributions to the study of classical Japanese narrative to have emerged in the last twenty years " by Richard Bowring of the University of Cambridge.[3]
He died of natural causes on 4 April 2012 in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey.[4]
On 20 May 2017, an independent report commissioned by St. Paul's School named Okada as one of thirteen adults at the school against whom substantiated instances of sexual misconduct had been documented.[5]
