Considered a major force behind the Kyoto Museum is Dr Ikuro Anzai, who is also its first director. A trained physicist, he taught at a medical school before he was invited to teach international affairs at Ritsumeikan in l986. Dr Anzai has since gained recognition as a leading scholar on peace studies.
Anayeonekana kuwa nguvu kubwa nyuma ya Makumbusho ya Kyoto ni Dk Ikuro Anzai, ambaye pia ni mkurugenzi wake. Akiwa ni mhitimu wa udaktari, alikuwa mwalimu katika shule ya udaktari kabla ya kukaribishwa kufundisha masuala ya kimataifa katika Ritsumeikan mwaka l986.
