Edogawa Ranpo
Tarō Hirai, better known by the pseudonym Edogawa Ranpo, also abbreviated Edogawa Rampo, is a Japanese author and critic who played a key role in the development of the Japanese mystery novel. Many of his novels relate to the detective hero Kogoro Akechi, who in later books is the leader of a group of children's detectives known as the "Little Detective Club". Ranpo is an admirer of Western mystery writers, and in particular that of Edgar Allan Poe. His pseudonym is an interpretation of the name Poe. Other authors who have a special influence on him are Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, whom he attempted to translate into Japanese during his student years at Waseda University, and Japanese mystery writer Ruikō Kuroiwa.
