Nobua Yoneda was a Japanese mathematician and computer scientist (1930-1996) from whom the famed Yoneda Lemma gets its name. It is ultimately a grand generalization of Cayley's Theorem in group theory.
His doctoral advisor was Shokichi Iyanaga. Iyanaga in turn studied under Teiji Takagi who was instrumental in developing Japanese encryption systems in World War 2.
He has done work on dialects of ALGOL (formerly known as International Algebraic Language, or IAL).
