Shinichi Hoshi
September 6, 1926 – December 30, 1997
Shinichi Hoshi is celebrated as one of Japan's most influential science fiction authors. He published over 1,000 of his signature "short-short" stories, a prolific output that cemented his legacy. His crisp, no-frills prose has earned comparisons to the "Haiku of Science Fiction" for its conciseness and impact. Hoshi's unique approach offers a distinct and memorable reading experience.
