Shibu Shōhei (志部昭平, 1943–1992) was a prominent Japanese historical linguist and professor at Chiba University who specialized in Middle Korean philology. In 1982, he actively participated in the foundational setup of the Department of Fundamental Literary Theory at Chiba University, formally joining its permanent faculty in 1984 to drive research in Eurasian and Korean linguistics. In 1988, he published a major study on old Korean words (On the Kōrai-kotoba in Intokuki) and co-edited the authoritative Cosmos Korean-Japanese Dictionary. In October 1990, Shibu released his two-volume magnum opus, Genkai Sankō Gyōjitsuzu Kenkyū (諺解三綱行實圖研究), which officially introduced his strict, character-by-character Middle Korean Romanisation System. In 1991, he completed his final historical review monograph on Korean language research in Japan before passing away prematurely in August 1992 at the age of 48. In 1994, the Society for Korean Linguistics in Japan published a dedicated commemorative volume honoring his structural contributions, and his transliteration framework remains an academic benchmark today, actively preserved by institutions like the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies (TUFS).
