Biography
He was born in Sasebo, Nagasaki.[1] He graduated from Sasebo North High School, and dropped out from Hokkaido University Department of Literature.[2] While studying at university, he was impressed after reading Isahaya Shōbu Nikki (1977) by the writer Kuninobu Noro, and started writing novels when he got a reply by writing a fan letter.[3] In 1979 he went back to Sasebo after leaving the university, won the Subaru Literary Award for his long-awaited novel Eien no 1/2 (永遠の1/2, Eien no Nibun no Ichi) written in 1983 for two years, and debuted as a writer.[4][1] He made his pen name "Shogo" (正午, Shōgo, "Noon") because he said that he heard the sound of a siren from a fire department in Sasebo City ringing at noon in the age of amateurs and coming up with the custom of starting to write novels.[1]
His other representative works include Revolver (1985), Kojin Kyōju (1988, Yamamoto Shūgorō Prize nominate), Kanojo ni tsuite Shiru koto no subete (1995), Y (1998), Jump (2000), Minoue Banashi (2009), etc., in which Y an Jump were bestsellers. In 2015, he won the Futaro Yamada Award for Hato no Gekitai-hō. In 2017, he later won the 157th Naoki Prize for Tsuki no Michi Kake.[5]
Bicycle racing has been his long-standing hobby,[6] and several works were on the subject of bicycle racing, such as Eien no 1/2, his short story Kimi wa Gokai shite iru, his column collection on bicycle racing side B, etc., were also published.
