Taro Morishima (森嶋 太郎, Morishima Tarō, 1903 – 1989) was a Japanese mathematician specializing in algebra who attended University of Tokyo in Japan. Morishima published at least thirteen papers, including his work on Fermat's Last Theorem. and a collected works volume published in 1990 after his death. He also corresponded several times with American mathematician H. S. Vandiver.

## Morishima's Theorem on FLT

    Let m be a prime number not exceeding 31. Let p be prime, and let x, y, z be integers such that $x^p$ + $y^p$ + $z^p$ = 0. Assume that p does not divide the product xyz. Then, p² must divide $m^{p−1}-1.$

## Review

Granville wrote that Morishima's proof could not be accepted.
