Death Place:	Yokohama, Japan
Nationality:	Japanese
Field:	Physics
Known For:	Nosé-Hoover thermostat

was a Japanese physicist.

Nosé is best known for his two 1984 papers in which he proposed a method to specify the temperature of molecular dynamics simulations. This method was later improved by William G. Hoover and is known as the Nosé–Hoover thermostat.
