Kaoru Kitamura
北村薫
Language: Japanese
Kaoru Kitamura (born December 28, 1949) is the pen name of Kazuo Miyamoto, a popular contemporary Japanese writer, mainly of short stories.
Kitamura is known as a writer of mysteries, and rather than the detective and crime stories of traditional mystery, his work mainly focuses on the logical resolution of more "ordinary" puzzles and questions encountered in everyday life. He is considered a pioneer of this style of mystery in Japan, called "everyday mystery" (日常の謎, nichijō no nazo), which has since been taken up by many other writers.
