The elements Ununtrium, (Uut or element 113) was discovered in the RIKEN Laboratory of Japan. The research work was headed by Kosuke Morita. TheInternational Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) recommended that the permanent name of element Ununtrium, (Uut or element 113) will be RIKEN in the recognition of RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-based Science (RNC).

The RIKEN 113 is the first element and heavy metal in the periodic table discovered in the Asia.
