*''Japanese'': 小田野直武 ''(Odano Naotake)''
Odano Naotake was a retainer to ''daimyô'' [[Satake Shozan]] of [[Akita han]]. Along with his lord, he was a major painter in the short-lived [[Akita ranga|Akita ''ranga'']] school.
Naotake was sent by Shozan to [[Edo]] to study with ''[[rangaku]]'' scholar [[Hiraga Gennai]] for five years; during that time, he interacted with a number of other prominent ''rangaku'' scholars, and in [[1774]] produced the illustrations for the ''[[Kaitai shinsho]]'', one of the earliest and most significant early modern Japanese publications on Western (Dutch) medicine & anatomy. Upon his return to Akita, he and Shozan produced several treatises on Western painting techniques - among the first such essays to be written in Japan - as well as numerous paintings in the Western style.
Naotake later lost his official position in Edo, due to his associations with Gennai, following the latter's [[1779]] arrest and imprisonment. He died the following year.
