Haneda Tōru (羽田亨, 1882-1955) was a distinguished Japanese scholar whose pioneering research in Central Asian history and Silk Road studies significantly advanced our understanding of cultural and historical exchanges between China and its neighboring regions. His contributions laid the foundation for modern Asian studies, bridging Eastern and Western academic traditions. Born in Kyoto, Japan, in 1882, Haneda pursued higher education at Tokyo Imperial University, studying under prominent scholars specializing in Chinese history. His academic rigor and passion for learning set him on a path to becoming one of the foremost experts in Asian studies. In the early 20th century, Haneda traveled to France to further his research. His time there was crucial for his academic development, as he engaged with leading French scholars and immersed himself in Western methodologies.

As a professor, he mentored numerous students and contributed to establishing Asian studies as a distinct academic discipline in Japan.
