 The Hani library donor, Goro Hani (1901 - 1983), was a historian. The fifth son of Syusaku Mori and a graduate of Tokyo University, he became the son-in-law of Motoko Hani, the founder of Jiyu Gakuen school and 'Fujin No Tomo' ('Woman's Friend') magazine. In 1929, he established the first university history department in Japan at Nihon University and lectured courses on historical philosophy and modern Japanese history. From 1947 to 1951, he worked to create the National Diet Library as a representative of the House of Councilors. His books include 'The Collected Works of Goro hani' and 'City Logic'.

 Seiji Noma (1878 - 1938) was born in Shinjuku, Kiryuu and attended Gunma Teacher's College. Known as the 'magazine king', he established Greater Japan Yuhbenkai Kodansha in 1911, founding the '9 Major Magazines' - 'Kodan Club' ('Story-telling Club'), 'Shonen Club' ('Young Boys' Club'), 'Fujin Club' ('Women's Club'), 'Gendai' ('Modern Times'), 'King', etc. In all, he created several hundred publications, raising the standard of Japanese magazine journalism. Mr. Noma also served as Japan Magazine Association chairman and Hokoku Newspaper president.

 The collection of Mayori Kurokawa (Bunsei12 - 1870), a Japanese classical scholar born in Kiryuu, is also unique. Born a Kaneko, at the age of 13 he became a pupil at Asakusa Ansansei, studying under Harumura Kurokawa, an Edo period Japanese literature scholar born in Ohmama-cho. After some time he became the head of the school, inheriting his predecessor's name. He studied Japanese history, literature and art, serving on the 'Kojiruien' Compilation and Imperial Museum Inspection committees and teaching at Tokyo Art School and Tokyo Music School. In 1878, he became the first person in the prefecture to receive a doctorate in literature from the Ministry of Education. He also wrote 190 books, for example 'Kohgeishika' and 'The Complete Works of Mayori Kurokawa' (six volumes in all) and the song 'Tenchobushi'.
