GEBCO: associated meeting, proposer and year of proposal (en): Associated meeting: SCUFN-29. Proposer: Japanese Committee on Undersea Feature Names (JCUFN). Year of proposal: 2016. |

GEBCO: discoverer and year of discovery (en): Discoverer: Japanese survey vessel "Takuyo". Year of discovery: 2000. History: Named after Mr. Hitoshi Imura (1935-2002), a Japanese captain. He was in command of the Japanese research vessel Natsushima of JAMSTEC (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology), from her launching in 1981. R/V Natsushima was the mother ship of the 2000m-class, human-occupied submersible "Shinaki 2000", as well as the 3000m-class ROV "Dolphin 3K". Studies based on these vehicles contributed a lot to new discoveries and basic understanding of the ocean floor around Japan, including the discovery of the first hydrothermal vent in the Okinawa Trough and in the North Fiji Basin (the latter, during a Japan-France cooperative expendition: the STARMER Project in 1987). Capt. Imura had also been in command of R/V Kaiyo, a catamaran ship of JAMSTEC. His able seamanship contributed to the safe navigation of JAMSTEC's fleet, resulting in many discoveries. |
