Natsuo Kirino Biography

Natsuo Kirino is one of the most popular and richest Novelist who was born on October 7, 1951 in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. Natsuo Kirino (Tong Yu Xia Sheng / Kirino Natsuo), was born October 7, 1951 in Kanazawa (Ishikawa Prefecture). Mariko Hashioka is a Japanese novelist who has been a leader in the recent boom in female detective fiction writers.

Her 1997 novel Out, which won the Mystery Writers of Japan Award in Japan, is her most well-known work. She was also a finalist for the 2004 Edgar Award (in English translation). Kirino was also awarded the 1993 Edogawa Rampo Prize in mystery fiction for Kao ni Furikakaru Ame (Rain Falling on My Face) and the 1999 Naoki Prize (Soft Cheeks) for her novel Yawarakana Hoho (Soft Cheeks).

In a 2003 interview with JapanReview.net, Kirino revealed the inspiration behind her dark themes and fast-moving plots. When asked what motivates her to write, Kirino said: “I am the type of person who always wants to be straightforward in dealing with my emotions, and my way of life, and my will. Because I am a complicated person, I can’t otherwise work or live on a day-to- day basis in any sort of healthy manner.” As for the methodology behind her writing, if it is a piece that is to be read in one sitting, she quickly bores into the theme of the work; if it is serialized, then she engulfs herself in the information before splitting it into blocks. Kirino said that she considers herself a “deviant” writer who does not fit into a simple category. Her main motivation to write is to “observe the fabric of human relationships.”

Many critics challenged and criticized Kirino for her storylines, especially for Out, by saying women should only be writing love stories. In fact, one male radio host refused to talk with her because of the fact she wrote about a husband being murdered by his own wife. However, her fiction has been mirrored by reality with an increasing number of bizarre murders in Japan such as the woman who in 2007 murdered her husband, dismembered his body, and dumped the parts across Tokyo.

Kirino started her writing career in 1984, when she began to write romantic novels. These types of novels weren’t popular in Japan so it was difficult for her to make a living writing them. She didn’t enjoy romance novels, and preferred to focus on psychological aspects of crime. In the early 1990s, she turned her attention to writing mystery novels. She is one of Japan’s most acclaimed writers, having written many short stories collections.
