For those who don't recognise the name, Gorō Shimura was a Japanese mathematician. He is the "Shimura" in the Taniyama–Shimura conjecture, which was what ultimately led to Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.
When asked about Wiles' proof proving their conjecture, he quips with a sly grin: "Well, my first reaction was, 'I told you so.'"
