Takashi Ito (b. 1967) is a Japanese planetary scientist who specializes in solar-system dynamics, particularly concerning minor planets. One of his major achievements was to confirm numerically that asymmetric lunar cratering has a profound connection with near-Earth-asteroid dynamics.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 5, #28, 7), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
