Tagged: Author.
Pseudonym of a controversial Japanese author, whose identity was never confirmed, but believed by many, including the National Library of Japan, to be a pen-name for Tetsuo Amano (1926-2008), an editor at the Shinchōsha publishing house.
Amano once admitted to being Numa, but later retracted his confession. Other candidates, largely discounted, have included the authors Tatsuhiko Shibusawa and Ryūichi Tamura, as well as Yukio Mishima, who publicly praised Numa's best-known book, comparing it to the pornographic stories of the Marquis de Sade.
Numa's most prominent work is the fixup that began with Kachikujin Yapū ["The Human Livestock Yapū"] (December 1956 Kitan Club; fixup 1970), a Near Future account of a wrecked Spaceship in West Germany, that is later revealed as a lost vessel that has travelled in time (see Time Travel) from two thousand years in the future.
The vessel hails from an era of Galactic Empire
