Kanehiro takaki (1849-1920) was a japanese naval medical officer at the end of the 19 th and the beginning of the 20 th centuries. At that time, beriberi – a feared and often fatal disease – was prevalent throughout japan and in many southeast asian countries (vandenbroucke 2003; 2012).
Beriberi is a nervous system ailment caused by a deficiency of vitamin b1 (thiamine), the symptoms of which may include weight loss, emotional disturbances, impaired sensory perception (wernicke's encephalopathy), weakness and pain in the limbs, and periods of irregular heartbeat.
Much of the work by japanese authors on thiamine and beriberi has been published only in japanese, but now this volume, covering publications over the past 20 years, enables their studies to be appreciated widely. The book is in 13 chapters, in each of which selected authors review the work in their own fields.
The following year, under willis, he began to study the english and latin languages as well as british medicine. 3,4 in 1872, takaki became a medical officer in the japanese navy. Apart from treating the sick and wounded, he became aware of the large number of sailors suffering and dying from beriberi.
Kanehiro takaki (1849–1920) was a japanese naval medical officer at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. At that time, beriberi – a feared and often fatal disease – was prevalent throughout japan and in many southeast asian countries. 1,2 takaki used an epidemiological approach – which was then unfamiliar in japan – to study the disease.
Without thiamine, animals and humans develop kakke, now known in english as beriberi. But for too long, the cause of the condition remained unknown.
Thiamine deficiency was prevalent in urban areas at the end of the 19th century but soon spread to smaller towns and rural areas. In 1878, kyoto, a city of 230,000 people at that time, reported 1093 cases of beriberi which was probably too low a figure. The incidence in the japanese army, where statistics were more carefully kept, was much higher.
The imperial japanese navy adopted curry from the royal navy to prevent beriberi, and now the japan maritime self-defense force's friday menu is curry. Curry sauce ( カレーソース karē sōsu ) is served on top of cooked rice to make curry rice.

One forceful believer in the nutritional origin of beriberi was baron takaki, who blamed the beriberi in the japanese navy in 1882 on a diet with too high a proportion of carbohydrates. In 1906 he reported that a subsequent change of nutrition in the navy had virtually wiped out the disease (takaki 1906).
The imperial japanese army, which was dominated by doctors from tokyo imperial university, persisted in their belief that beriberi was an infectious disease, and refused to implement a remedy for decades. In the russo-japanese war of 1904–1905, over 200,000 soldiers suffered from beriberi — 27,000 fatally, compared to 47,000 deaths from combat.
Wet beriberi, characterized by high cardiac output with predominantly right-sided heart failure and lactic acidosis, is a disease caused by thiamine deficiency, and is rarely seen in modern society. However, patients with social withdrawal syndrome, also known as hikikomori syndrome, may be a new population at risk of thiamine deficiency.
Twenty-three japanese patients with beriberi heart disease, 17 of them teenagers, were studied. The recent tendency for teenagers to take excessive sweet carbonated soft drinks, instant noodles and powermill-polished rice readily induces relative thiamine deficiency.

“beriberi research,” wrote an anonymous doctor in 1907, “must be the enterprise of the nation,” because “as imperial subjects,” and “as great citizens of the empire,” disease prevention was a duty for all japanese. ¹ this sentiment represented the new importance assigned to controlling beriberi.
