Hinohara Shigeaki / 日野原重明

Hinohara Shigeaki appears in 177.日本医保基金为何要支持免费的国民体检? as a symbolic founder figure for Japan’s preventive-medicine story. The episode links him to early [[NingenDock|ningen dock]] practice at St. Luke’s International Hospital, the public framing of lifestyle diseases, and a long life that made his own biography part of Japan’s preventive-health narrative.

The source presents him through several public episodes: his early family and illness experiences, his advocacy that adult chronic disease often reflects long-accumulated habits, his survival of a 1970 hijacking, his leadership role when St. Luke’s treated many victims after the 1995 Tokyo subway sarin attack, and his later “new elders” work. The wiki treats these as source-described biographical anchors for Lifestyle-Disease Prevention / 生活习惯病预防, not as an independent biography.
