Akira Higashiyama (born 1968) is a Japanese novelist born in Taipei, Taiwan. He moved to Fukuoka, Japan, with his family at the age of nine and made his literary debut in 2003 with "Tobo Saho: TURD ON THE RUN." Writing across crime fiction, coming-of-age fiction, and speculative fiction, he has received several major Japanese literary awards. In 2015, he won the Naoki Prize for "Ryu," a novel set largely in 1970s Taiwan that follows a young man investigating the murder of his grandfather. Against the backdrop of Taiwan's postwar history and his family's roots in mainland China, the novel combines friendship, romance, violence, and a search for the buried history that shaped the protagonist's family.
