According to the Nikkei Chinese Network reported on July 30, Toshiei Maskawa, a Japanese elementary particle theory physicist and honorary professor of Kyoto University who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2008, died of gum cancer in his jaw at 8:40 a.m. in Kyoto City on July 23. He died on December 31, 2012 at the age of 8

According to reports, Toshiei Mizekawa was born in Nagoya City in 1940. After graduating from the Faculty of Science of Nagoya University in 1962, he served as a lecturer at the University of Tokyo, a professor at Kyoto University, and a professor at Kyoto Sangyo University. Before his death, he was an honorary professor at Kyoto Sangyo University and a distinguished professor at Nagoya University.

In 1973, while working as a teaching assistant at Kyoto University, Toshiei Makoto Meskawa co-authored a paper on elementary particles with Makoto Kobayashi (then a teaching assistant at Kyoto University) and published the "Kobayashi-Masochina Theory". The correctness of the theory was also confirmed by physics experiments, and in 2008 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics together with Makoto Kobayashi and Yoichiro Minami (deceased).
