This paper traces the academic genealogy of Professor Takeru Higuchi, who is considered "The Father of Physical Pharmacy" because of his contributions to the science of drug formulation and delivery and his impact in mentoring a whole generation of post-World War II pharmaceutical scientists. As one who was mentored by Professor Higuchi (Tak), I was challenged to ask the question, "If Tak was my mentor, who was his mentor, and who were those who formed his academic lineage?" This question led me to attempt to follow Professor Higuchi's academic genealogy. I was quite surprised at what I found and I thought it would be of interest to many readers who will correctly claim direct or indirect connection to Professor Higuchi. A greater purpose of my paper is to encourage all readers to think about their mentors and to take the time for a note of gratitude (if possible) to these people who have so deeply affected their life.
本文追溯了樋口武郎教授的学术谱系。由于他在药物制剂与递送科学领域的贡献以及对战后整整一代药学科学家的指导影响，他被尊为“物理药剂学之父”。作为一名曾受樋口教授（Tak）指导的人，我不禁思考：“如果Tak是我的导师，那他的导师又是谁，那些构成他学术传承脉络的人又是谁呢？”这个问题促使我尝试梳理樋口教授的学术谱系。我所发现的内容让我颇为惊讶，我认为这对于许多能正确宣称与樋口教授有直接或间接联系的读者来说会很有意思。我写这篇论文的一个更重要目的是鼓励所有读者思考他们的导师，并花时间（如果可能的话）向这些深刻影响了他们人生的人表达感激之情。
