When he was the staff of Kochi Prefecturel Fisheries Experimental Station from 1938 to 1947 and the director of Hamana-ko Branch of Shizuoka Prefectural Fisheries Experimental Station from 1947 to 1963, he collected many shells chiefly caught by dragnet in the Tosa Bay, Shikoku and the Enshu-nada, Central Honshu, including five new species, namely, Buccinum noguchii Habe et Ito, 1955, Zeuxis noguchii (Habe, 1958), Musashia noguchii (Hayashi, 1960) and Microglyphis noguchii Kuroda, 1961.
