Edogawa Rampo

　Hirai Tarô (better known by his pseudonym, Edogawa Rampo) was born in Mie, Japan in 1894. Rampo studied economics at Waseda University, graduating in 1916 and going on to work in a variety of odd jobs. A great admirer of western mystery writers, he modelled his pen-name after Edger Allan Poe – 'Edogawa Rampo' said very quickly sounds like the American author's name – and began to write his own detective fiction. His literary break came in 1923, when Shin Seinen magazine published his story 'The Two-Sen Copper Coin'. It was the first time the magazine had ever published a Japanese author, and the story was popular with readers.
