Gaisi Takeuti (竹内 外史, Takeuchi, Gaishi; January 25, 1926 – May 10, 2017) was a Japanese mathematician, known for his work in proof theory. After graduating from Tokyo University, he went to Princeton to study under Kurt Gödel. He later became a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. Takeuti was president (2003–2009) of the Kurt Gödel Society, having worked on the book Memoirs of a Proof Theorist: Godel and Other Logicians. His goal was to prove the consistency of the real numbers. To this end, Takeuti's conjecture speculates that a sequent formalisation of second-order logic has cut-elimination. He is also known for his work on ordinal diagrams with Akiko Kino.

Toshio Kuroda (黒田 俊雄, Kuroda Toshio; January 21, 1926 – January 26, 1993) was a Japanese academic, historian and university professor.

His ideas were the opposite of what mainstream academics at the time believed, and for this reason his name is often at the center of controversies. His work has been called "seminal", "epochal" and "revolutionary".
