*''Japanese'': 坂田 春雄 ''(Sakata Haruo)''
Sakata Haruo was an administrative official (''jimukan'') in the [[Ministry of the Interior]] (''Naimushô'') of the [[Meiji government]] who played a notable role in Japan's official participation in a number of expositions in Australia.
Along with [[Hashimoto Masato]], Sakata led a group of ten Japanese officials, brokers, and others in attending the [[1875 Melbourne Intercolonial Exhibition]]. The account they produced of their travels in Queensland, Tasmania, and South Australia, entitled ''Fu Gôshû Meruborun-fu hakurankai kikô'' (赴豪洲￨即厘供府博覧会紀行, roughly "An Account of the Australian Melbourne Exhibition"), is believed to be the first report on Australia ever written in Japanese.<ref>Jennifer Harris, "'Odd and Bizarre': The Export of Japanese Aesthetics to Nineteenth-Century Australia," in Harris and Tets Kimura (eds.), ''Exporting Japanese Aesthetics'', Brighton: Sussex Academic Press (2020), 46.</ref>
