Jiro Kawakita (川喜田 二郎, Kawakita Jirō) was an ethnographer, a pioneer in participation of remote Nepalese villagers in researching their problems, resulting in practical benefits of portable water supplies and rapid rope-way transport across mountain gorges.[1] He was awarded the Ramon Magsaysay Award in 1984.[1]
He is reported as the author of KJ method for organizing notes,[2] also termed affinity walls in UX Research. He viewed the method as an alternative to Western quantitative methods in ethnography.
Kawakita established the non-profit organisation Institute for Himalayan Conservation Japan.[3]
