Makoto Sakuta [1] Makoto Sakuta,

a Japanese computer scientist at Fukuoka Institute of Technology, Higashi-ku, before affiliated with the Shizuoka University, Hamamatsu, where he received his Ph.D. on Deterministic Solving of Problems with Uncertainty [2] . His research interests include Endgame Search, Kriegspiel-Like Problems, computer shogi, studies on Tsuitate-Tsume-Shogi (Mating Problems of Screen Shogi), and the killer-tree heuristic.
