From early life to literary activities
Born in Osaka. His father is an electrician for Daido Electric Power, and his mother is a pastor. After graduating from the old Uda Junior High School in four years, he entered Doshisha University. During the war, he was sent to North Manchuria, and after the war, he fled to Korea and returned to the mainland, but this experience became the origin of his creations.
In 1947, he joined Nippon Kangyo Securities, and in 1949 he wrote ``Kitaman Ward Chronicle'', which won an honorable mention in the ``Weekly Asahi'' documentary literature contest, and aspired to become a novelist. His work ``Imaginary Numbers and Poets,'' which he submitted for the ``Sunday Mainichi'' Chiba Kameo Prize, was selected as an honorable mention, but due to the stock market failure, he ended up in a large amount of debt.
In 1953, he developed polio, and during that time, due to Stalin's fall, he sold off his household goods and land. After he had no place to return to, he lived in Higashida-cho, near the Tobita shopping district, and experienced various jobs such as fortune-telling with cards and luring people to cabarets, and even applied for comedy sketches for evening newspapers and radio novels.
