I am sorry to report that Dr, Hiroo Numata died 0n October the 2nd 2021, Doctor of Engineering and affiliated with Tokyo Tech for most jf not all his career. Despite not being the best known name in the LENR field, he was a prolific researcher in the fields of corrosion chemistry, metallurgy, and molten salt electrolysis. He presented at ICCF-12 and also at a half-dozen Japanese cold fusion society conferences. The formidable list of his publications- with links is below.
