Genjun Sasaki was the one on the book about linguistics. :)

There is the great Rinzai Zen teacher Sasaki Roshi too.

But sorry, no relation to any of them (at least that I know of), though
samsara's wheel turns so much that in the end we are related to everyone
in one of our lives, isnt it? :)

The name is in fact Japanese (father), though I'm Brazilian by birth. I
