“Tsuneo Yoshikuni was a pioneer of Zimbabwean urban history. His work on early colonial Salisbury marked a new interest in this area that opened up the field to a series of further studies. Dr. Yoshikuni will long be remembered as the foremost Japanese-Africanist scholar on Zimbabwean history, as well as a close friend to Zimbabwean historians.”
