He made many great achievements, such as the "Two-meson theory'', "Sakata model'', and "Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata theory'', to mention just three. He also brought up many excellent physicists: M. Kobayashi and T. Maskawa are among his disciples. Purpose of the Symposium is to discuss the perspective of modern particle physics in the light of physics of Sakata and Sakata school.
