Kyusaku Ogino (荻野 久作, Ogino Kyūsaku; 25 March 1882 – 1 January 1975) was a Japanese medical doctor specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. His natural father's family name was Nakamura, but Kyusaku was adopted by the Ogino family in 1901. Ogino studied infertility and developed a method to estimate the fertile period of the menstrual cycle based on the length of a woman's past cycles. This knowledge could be used by couples seeking pregnancy to time intercourse so as to maximize the chances of conception. In 1930, John Smulders, Roman Catholic physician from the Netherlands, used this discovery to create a method for avoiding pregnancy. Smulders published his work with the Dutch Roman Catholic medical association, and this was the official Rhythm Method promoted over the next several decades. Ogino opposed the use of his method for contraception. He argued that its failure rate was too high: to promote it for contraception, despite the availability of other effective contraceptive methods, would result in many abortions from unwanted pregnancies. Despite this, the Rhythm Method of contraception is ironically referred to as the Ogino Method (オギノ式, ogino-shiki) in Japan. Babies born to parents using this method are known in France as "bébés Ogino."

Although a prolific and well-known writer during his lifetime, in the post-war era he fell into posthumous obscurity due to his perceived ideological support for Japanese ultra nationalism. As a student, Nishi belonged to the very first cohort who undertook degrees at the newly established philosophy department at Tokyo University (then known as Tokyo Imperial University), studying western philosophy and European languages under figures such as Raphael von Koeber. Nishi would become well read when it came to Western philosophy, studying Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Rousseau, Kant, Schiller, Fichte, Schleiermacher, Hegel, Herbart, Lotze, Wundt, Windelband, Rickert, Cohen, Bergson, Poincaré, and many others. Together with Nishida Kitaro, Nishi was referred to as one of the "Two Nishi's" (両西, ryō-nishi). In Hiroshima prefecture, where Nishi taught classes on ethics, he was a particularly respected figure. A phrase bandied about was "there is a Nishi in the West" (“西に西あり”, nishi ni, nishi ari). Nishi’s similarities with Nishida do not end here. He also started out in a similar fashion with respects to his own research, focusing on Kant, and, later, attempting to overcome the problems he saw in Kantianism by proceeding on to Bergson. Nishi even shared with Nishida an admiration of the educator Hōjō Tokiyuki (北条時敬). It was Hōjō who had recommended to Nishida that he undertake Zen training, and he actually made the same recommendation to Nishi. In fact, Nishi would earn a degree of public recognition sooner than Nishida, by producing the first Japanese translation of Thomas Hill Green’s book, Prolegomena to Ethics, nearly a decade before the publication of Nishida's An Inquiry Into the Good (善の研究 Zen no Kenkyū.) Nishi also received significant public attention for his contribution in calming down a national furor in 1931, regarding the government’s proposal to restructure the system of higher education and abolish some of the old high schools.
