In recent years, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been won by three Japanese--Hideki Shirakawa in 2000, Ryoji Noyori in 2001, and Koichi Tanaka in 2002. The 2002 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Masatoshi Koshiba.

Never knew Japanese have won several Nobel Prizes before

Two Japanese citizens, Makoto Kobayashi, left, and Toshihide Masukawa, center, and a Japanese-born American Yoichiro Nambu, won the 2008 Nobel Prize in physics for discoveries in the world of subatomic physics, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2008. American Nambu, 87, of the University of Chicago, won half of the prize for the discovery of a mechanism called spontaneous broken symmetry in subatomic physics. Kobayashi and Maskawa of Japan shared the other half of the prize for discovering the origin of the broken symmetry that predicts the existence of at least three families of quarks in nature.
