Sir Harold (Harry) Walter Kroto, FRS〔 (born Harold Walter Krotoschiner; 7 October 1939), is an English chemist. He shared the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Robert Curl and Richard Smalley. Kroto is the Francis Eppes Professor of Chemistry at the Florida State University, which he joined in 2004.

==Early years==
Kroto was born in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, England, to Edith and Heinz Krotoschiner,〔(Harold Walter Kroto Biography – life, family, parents, name, wife, school, mother, young, born, college, time, year, Studied Chemistry in College ). Notablebiographies.com. Retrieved on 25 December 2011.〕 with his name being of Silesian origin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/1996/kroto-autobio.html )〕 His father's family came from Bojanowo, Poland, and his mother's from Berlin, Germany. Both his parents were born in Berlin and came to Great Britain in the 1930s as refugees from the Nazis because his father was Jewish. He was raised in Bolton, Lancashire, England, and attended Bolton School, where he was a contemporary of the highly acclaimed actor Ian McKellen. In 1955, the family name was shortened to Kroto.〔
As a child, he became fascinated by a Meccano set.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://vega.org.uk/video/programme/62 )〕 Kroto credits Meccano — amongst other things — with developing skills useful in scientific research.〔 He developed an interest in chemistry, physics, and mathematics in secondary school, and because his sixth form chemistry teacher (Harry Heaney – who subsequently became a University Professor) felt that the University of Sheffield had the best chemistry department in the United Kingdom, he went to Sheffield.
Although raised Jewish, Harry Kroto has stated that religion never made any sense to him.〔 He is a humanist who claims to have three religions: Amnesty Internationalism, atheism, and humor. He is a distinguished supporter of the British Humanist Association.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.humanism.org.uk/about/people/distinguished-supporters )〕 In 2003 he was one of 22 Nobel Laureates who signed the Humanist Manifesto.
