Keikichi Ōsaka, whose real name was Fukutarō Suzuki, was born on 20 March 1912 in Shinshiro, Aichi Prefecture. On the recommendation of his mentor, Saburō Kōga, he published his first short story in October 1932, “The Hangman of the Department Store” (Depāto no kōkeiri). Pioneer of the genre honkaku misuterī (orthodox mystery), a Japanese variant of the detective novel in which logic plays an important role, he published around thirty short stories between 1932 and 1945. His short stories in most cases have three characteristics: a crime that seems materially impossible, even supernatural; an unusual or mysterious setting; an amateur detective who solves the riddle. Mobilised during World War II, he was sent to the Philippines where he died of illness In Luzon on 2 July 1945.
