Hiroshi Sano

Hiroshi Sano (22 May 1928 – 27 April 2013), was a Japanese mystery writer and critic. His real name is Ichiro Maruyama.

He was born in Tokyo City Omori (now Tokyo, Ota-ku, Omori). In 1953, Yomiuri Shimbun graduated from the University of Tokyo Faculty of Letters Department of Psychology and began work as a part-time writer. In 1959 he left the newspaper he was writing for. Kuroiwa Juware criticized his writing as "novels that do not shed blood and sweat", through the mystery as intellectual game but, on the other hand he took a negative position in the detective series, such as to eliminate even eccentric and large-scale crime, as good realism, moderation is also a characteristic.

If it is polemic at the same time in the companionship of other writers in the aggressive type (Satoshi Kuroiwa was a close friend), Kyo Takigawa, Norio Kono, Shinichi Hoshi, Tsutomu Mizukami, Shoji Yuki were young artists who formed a friendship organization called a "murder club", later including Sasazawa Hidariho, Oyabu Haruhiko, Michio Tsuzuki, Jiro Ikushima, Masako Togawa.

He won the Japan Mystery Literature Award in 1997 and the Kikuchi Kan Prize in 2009.

On April 27, 2013, Sano died of pneumonia in hospital at Kawasaki City. He was 84 years old.
