Hamao Umezawa was born on Ocrober 1, 1914 in Tokyo, Japan.
After graduating from the Musashi Junior and Senior High School, Hamao Umezawa completed his medical degree at the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Medicine in 1937.
Hamao Umezawa specialized in antibiotics. In 1944 he returned to his alma mater as assistant professor. After serving in Japanese army during World War II Umezawa did work on tuberculosis which led to his discovery, in 1956, of antibiotic kanamycin. By this stage Umezawa was heading the Institute of Microbial Chemistry in Tokyo where his main focus was antimicrobial agents manufactured through fermentation processes. Also in the mid-1950s Umezawa discovered kasugamycin, a compound useful in combating rice molds.
