Hiroshi Kaneda Explained
is a Japanese astronomer and discoverer of minor planets from Sapporo, in the northernmost prefecture of Japan.
Kaneda ranks among the world's most prolific individual discoverers of minor planets. He is credited by the Minor Planet Center with the co-discovery of 705 numbered minor planets, between 1987 and 2000, all of them in collaboration with astronomer Seiji Ueda. Along with being an astronomer, Kaneda works as a computer programmer and is a developer of astronomical software.
The main-belt asteroid 4677 Hiroshi, discovered by Atsushi Takahashi and KazurĊ Watanabe at Kitami in 1990, is named after him.
