Hyakutake graduated from the Kyushu Sangyo University as a photography major and started working at a newspaper in Fukuoka.[1] He first became interested in astronomy after seeing Comet Ikeya–Seki in 1965.[2] He began searching for comets in 1989. In 1993, he moved to Hayato for because “the skies were much clearer there” and so he could better continue his search for comets.[1] His first discovery was Comet C/1995 Y1, on December 26, 1995.[3]
Hyakutake discovered C/1996 B2 while looking for C/1995 Y1, a comet he had discovered a few weeks before.[4][5]

Asteroid 7291 Hyakutake is named after him.[6][7]
