A fact from Taguchi Ukichi appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 6 October 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Japanese historian and economist Taguchi Ukichi has often been referred to as the Adam Smith of Japan?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/October.

Wikipedia

Adam Smith

I'm sorry that I do not know which writer or which article/book coined the idea of comparing Taguchi to Adam Smith. But as weasely as it may be to say "sometimes referred to..." or "some scholars...", it doesn't make it any less true. Some scholars do say this. He is in fact sometimes compared to Adam Smith. I just can't provide the one canonical original reference. LordAmeth 22:14, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The reference in the article to 日本人種論 is very odd. The reported publication date is not within Taguchi's lifetime. I have edited the date to reflect that shown in Takezawa's citation.
