Kumataro Ito (Japanese: 伊藤熊太郎 Ito Kumataro, ca. 1860 – ca. 1930) was the illustrator on board the Bureau of Fisheries Steamer U.S.S. Albatross during the Philippine Expedition from 1907 to 1910[1].
Ito was probably recommended to Hugh M. Smith as an artist by Kamakichi Kishinouye, a Japanese fisheries biologist and cnidariologist.
