(とられてたまるか!) started his literary career. After writing several picaresque novels, his novel ''Metro ni notte'' (地下鉄に乗って) was awarded the Eiji Yoshikawa Prize for New Writers and made into a 2006 film; a short story collection ''The Stationmaster and other stories'' () was also awarded the Naoki Prize. He writes not only standard fiction and picaresque novels, but also historical and Chinese historical novels such as ''The Firmament of the Pleiades'' (''Sōkyū no subaru'', 蒼穹の昴). He is seen as an author who has continued the traditional style of Japanese popular fiction. Provided by Wikipedia
