Tsukasa Sakaki 坂木 司

Tsukasa Sakaki (1969–) was born in Tokyo. Except for revealing the year and place of his/her birth, the author chooses to remain incognito. Sakaki’s literary debut came in 2002 with Aozora no tamago (Sky Egg), which became the first volume in a well-received three-book series featuring the “shut-in detective” Shin’ichi Torii. In these and other titles, Sakaki creates scenarios in which the protagonists experience personal growth in the course of solving the “everyday mysteries” they encounter.
