Yutaka Taniyama (谷山 豊, Taniyama Yutaka [1], 12 November 1927 – 17 November 1958) was a Japanese mathematician known for the Taniyama–Shimura conjecture . Contribution. Taniyama was best known for conjecturing, in modern language, automorphic properties of L-functions of elliptic curves over any number field.

Yutaka Taniyama (jap. 谷山豊 Taniyama Yutaka, właśc. Taniyama Toyo; ur. 12 listopada 1927, zm. 17 listopada 1958) – japoński matematyk, który zajmował się teorią liczb, najlepiej znany z "twierdzenia modularności" (twierdzenie Shimura-Taniyama).
Yutaka Taniyama was born November 12, 1927, the third son and sixth child of Sahei and Kaku Taniyama. He had three brothers and four sisters. Both his parents lived beyond ninety. His first name, expressed by a single Chinese character, can be pronounced 'Toyo', and he once told me, if my recollection is correct, that was the
Taniyama, Yutaka (1927-1958) Japanese mathematician who was a colleague of Shimura who tragically died by his own hand while still at the peak of his creativity. His name is most widely known through the important Taniyama-Shimura conjecture, which connects topology and number theory and includes Fermat's last theorem as a special case.
Despite his relatively brief career, Yutaka Taniyama’s work left a lasting impact on mathematics, and the Taniyama-Shimura-Weil conjecture became one of the cornerstones of modern number theory. In recognition of his contributions, the conjecture, now proved, is often referred to as the Taniyama-Shimura-Weil theorem.
