Abstract
In this first of two chapters dealing with the international growth of regional science, Yoshiro Higano assesses the contributions of Genpachiro Konno, Yasuhiko Oishi, and Hirotada Kohno to leading the development of regional science in Japan. These Great Minds each served decade-long terms as Presidents of the Japan Section of the Regional Science Association (RSA), followed by terms as Presidents of the RSA, or its successor, the Regional Science Association International. Highly principled, strong scholars, they advocated for public policy based on scientific study. Committed to large national projects, including express highways, they realized the value of regional science and interpreted it to fit the exigencies of their times. Together, Konno, Oishi, and Kohno led the creation of a uniquely Japanese brand of regional science.
