Unno Juza

Unno Juza

Unno Juza (海野十三) was the pen name of Sano Shôichi (1897 - 1949), the founding father of Japanese science fiction. He was born to a family of medical doctors in Tokushima city. In 1928 he opened his writer’s career with "The case of the mysterious death in the electric bath" ("Denkifuro no kaishijiken").

During the Pacific War he wrote a great number of science-fiction novels. Japan’s defeat in World War II was for him a hard blow, and Unno spent the last years in his life in a deeply prostrated state. The characters forming his name are also read as Unno Jûzô.

Unno's scientific work was influenced by that of Nikola Tesla.

The captain, "Okino Juzo" of Space Battleship Yamato was named to pay a tribute but is misread as "Juzo".
