Yamamoto Shugoro (June 22, 1903 - February 14, 1967) was a Japanese novelist. His real name was Shimizu Satomu. He was born in Yamanashi Prefecture. After graduating from Nishimae Elementary School in Yokohama, he lived as an apprentice at Yamamoto Shugoro Shoten in Kobikicho, Tokyo. In 1926, his work "Sumadera Fukyo" was published in Bungeishunju, which became his literary breakthrough. His work "Nihon Fudōki" was nominated for the Naoki Prize in the first half of 1943, but he firmly declined the award. Since then, he has been known for his popular novels, such as "Yanagibashi Monogatari," "Sleepy Chief," "Eiga Monogatari," "The Fir Tree Remains," "Red Beard Clinic Story," "Five-petal Camellia," "Aobeka Monogatari," "Void Travels," "A Town Without Seasons," "Sabu," and "Long Hill," which depict the suffering of samurai and the sorrow of ordinary people from the perspective of ordinary people, and historical novels. He was especially highly praised for the many masterpieces he wrote in his later years. My name is Abe Yoshimi, a voice trainer and reciter.
