Motohiko Izawa Biography

Motohiko Izawa is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on February 1, 1954 in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Motohiko Izawa, also known as Jing Ze Yuan Yan, Izawa Motohiko was born February 1, 1954 in Nagoya (Aichi Prefecture), Japan. He is a Japanese author of historical fiction and mystery novels. He worked previously as a news reporter at TBS, and has been a visiting professor at Shuchiin University since April 2012.

He attacked Kenzaburo Okinawa’s 1970 essay Okinawa in a column published by SAPIO on December 12, 2007. However, he corrected Sono’s famous misreading by replacing Sono’s use of kyokai (“Ju Kui” meaning ringleader) by the correct kyokai (“Ju Kuai”) meaning colossal Mass.

He advocates democratic fundamentals in both Japanese society and politics. On January 2012 he went to work at the headquarters of the Chūkyō Dokuritsu Senryaku Honbu which seeks to abolish Aichi Prefecture and elevate Nagoya to metropolis-level status as Tokyo already is. He expressed his sympathy to Koichi Kato when his home was burned down and on the occasion argued for a reappraisal of his political record.

He frequently writes articles about Japanese history, often focusing on World War II. He has criticized the attitude of mass media towards history, including the Asahi Shimbun, which he attacked in a book he co-authored with Yoshinori Kbayashi. Izawa is a member of the Japanese Society for History Textbook Reform, and is a staunch opponent to the Nanjing massacre. His books were among the ones that were confiscated by the librarians in 2001 at Nishi Library in Funabashi. The Supreme Court ordered that the library pay compensation in 2005.

He was at that time working in the politics section. Sarumaru Genshi-ko can be described as both detective fiction as well as a historical novel.

In 2010 Izawa also worked on a committee to commemorate the 1300th anniversary of the moving of the Japanese capital to Heijo-kyo.
