I just ask this question out of curiosity.
I would like to hear opinions from researchers in Japan about this paper:
Speciation of two gobioid species, Pterogobius elapoides and Pterogobius zonoleucus revealed by multi-locus nuclear and mitochondrial DNA analyses
The first author is Akihito, unless there is another person with that single unique name at that unique address.
Did he really contribute anything to that paper? Note that he doesn't have any degree, and he was 82 years old when that paper was published.

This is probably better at Skeptics.SE, though the answer seems readily obtainable. Besides being listed as first author, though, it is likely to be difficult to know objectively his specific contribution to that one individual paper (as is true for any author, even when contributions are listed in the publication); however, it is consistent with his prior publishing history so I see no immediate reason to doubt it.

He has a whole bunch of papers, so he probably did have something to contribute to that specific paper, but only its authors will know the full story on that.

I would like to hear opinions from researchers in Japan about this paper - this wording doesn't make the question objective. And you are not really asking about opinions on the paper (which I'd understand as the content of the paper, which would be off-topic), but to clarify the identity of the first author. How about editing the post?

According to the Indian embassy of Japan he did author a similarily titled paper in 2008: link (titled Evolution of Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Japan populations of the
gobiid species, Pterogobius elapoides
and Pterogobius zonoleucus, based on
molecular and morphological analysis), so it is a safe bet that the paper you are asking about is authored by His Majesty as well.
The Internet also confirms he specializes in ichtyological research.
