Riku Onda is a Japanese novelist. Born on October 25, 1964, her real name is Nanae Kumagai. She was born in Aomori City, Aomori Prefecture, but later moved to Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, and subsequently lived in various other locations. In her childhood, she developed an affinity for books and music, and influenced by her father's love of classical music, she learned to play the piano. Even as an adult, listening to the piano remains her favorite activity.
Onda enrolled in the Department of Japanese Language and Literature, Faculty of Education, Waseda University, and was a member of the high-society orchestra, playing the alto saxophone. She was also a member of the Waseda Mystery Club. After graduating, she worked as an office lady for a life insurance company, but was eventually hospitalized due to overwork. At that time, she had the misconception that writers were elderly, so she had to work for a while. However, after recovering, she read Ken'ichi Sakami's "The Tale of the Inner Palace" and was shocked to discover that the age difference between his talent and the author was only one year. She began her writing career six months later, while still working.
She published her first book in 1992, and soon after, in 1993, she was a finalist for the Japan Fantasy Novel Award. Since then, her works have continued to receive critical acclaim. Onda captivates readers with her unique writing style and imaginative worldview.
