Kumataro Ito (Japanese: 伊藤熊太郎 Ito Kumataro; c. 1860 – c. 1930) was the illustrator on board the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries Steamer U.S.S. Albatross during the Philippine Expedition from 1907 to 1910.[1]
Ito was probably recommended to Hugh M. Smith as an artist by Kamakichi Kishinouye, a Japanese ichthyologist and cnidariologist.
