Ngay truớc cổng truờng đặt tượng của ông Takayanagi kenjiro này.Hồi đầu cứ nghì là lão già nào thế này ,tưởng một trong những hiệu trưởng của trường.Sau mới biết vị này được biết đến như là "cha đẻ của tivi",một niềm tự hào của Đại học Shizuoka !
Television
The pioneer of the picture period, Kenjiro Takayanagi
Kenjiro Takayanagi was born at Anshin-cho in Hamamatsu in 1899 (the 32nd year of Meiji). In his childhood, he was so thin and ordinary that he was called "princess", but he was really interested in the structure of machines and how to make them.
When he graduated from the electrical department of Tokyo technical high school (This is the faculty of engineering of Shizuoka University now.) , he had an ambitious to compleat "wireless far sighted way", which could send distance scene and replay it at once without using wireless. Because he learned that he should wrestle with study with thinking about ten or twenty year future.
At that time the mechanical way was popular, on the other hand he had an eye on the electricway, which had little possibilitty of success in the development.
He left for his alma mater as the assistant proffesser for the electrical department and started his own study. As he had a hard time because of no assistants and few reserch expenses, he repeated the experiment with his own making devices at the school ware house. After a lot of failure and improvement, he finally succeeded in replaying (*photo-1) on the tube in 1926(the 15the year of Taisho). The tube was so dark that he used to put it in a dark box and peep through .

After this success he had more assistants gradually, but it took long time to develop the televisionset which was like a pipe dream. The full-electronic television set was compleated in 1936(the 11the year of Showa ). The first real TV broadcasting started in 1953(the 28th year of Showa).
Now that people say that there is a television set per person in Japan. We take the replay on the tube for granted. However we shouldn't think of this birth of a television set without remembering the acievement of Mr. Takayanagi's, who kept pursuing his theme with looking at the future. Thanks to his remarkable service, the optical industry in Hamamatsu has developed, too.
