The article about Hiro Arikawa doesn't have a photo, but I found one on the humanitas site. But however it's in Romanian. https://humanitas.ro/autori/hiro-arikawa it states that "HIRO ARIKAWA was born in 1972 in the city of Kōchi on the Shikoku Island. He graduated from Sonoda University. In 2004, he debuted with the novel Shio no machi (Salt City), the love story of two teenagers forced to survive in a world transformed into salt, for which he won the Dengeki Prize. The novel is part of the youth trilogy Jieitai sanbu-saku (Self-Defense Forces), which also includes the volumes Sora no naka (In the Sky, 2004) and Umi no soko (At the Bottom of the Sea, 2005). The youth tetralogy Toshokan sensō (Library War, 2006–2007), which became a bestseller, served as the basis for an animated series in 2008 and was adapted into a film in 2013. Among Hiro Arikawa's novels are Hankyū densha (Hankyū Line Train, 2008), Shokubutsu zukan (Illustrated Book of Plants, 2009), Hiā kamuzu za san (Here Comes the Sun, 2011). In 2012, he published the novel Memoriile unui motan călător (The Traveler Cat's Memoirs; Humanitas Fiction, 2020), a resounding success, shortlisted for three major literary awards, Eiji Yoshikawa Bungaku Shinjin, Shūgoro Yamamoto, and Fūtarō Yamada. It has been translated into over 30 countries and adapted into a successful film in 2018 directed by Kōichirō Miki, starring Sōta Fukushi and Mitsuki Takahata. There have also been stage adaptations of the book, including a radio theater version. In 2021, his collection of short stories Motanul care și-a luat rămas-bun (The Cat Who Said Goodbye; Humanitas Fiction, 2023) was published, a bestseller in Japan. Alongside her writing career, Hiro Arikawa founded her own theater group, Sky Rocket." Luigi Cotocea (talk) 18:30, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
