Yoshio Kobayashi


AKA Takashi Ogawa, translator of Bruce Sterling, Lew Shiner, Lucius Shepard and many more.  Regular columnist at Hayakawa's SF Magazine, introducing a new trend in SF/F for a quarter century.  Currently heavily into the new Slipstream.

I've been a neophile and promoting new writers in our genre for past 26 years.  I've promoted cyberpunk from 1982 to 1994, new generation of Slipstream from 2001 to this day, and our own new generation of SF writers for a couple of years now.  The most recent translated works are Illuminatus! trilogy and THE DOGWALKER by Arthue Bradford.  I've edited THE BEST SF OF THE EIGHTIES and Shueisha's WORLD SF line.  I teach translation skills at two schools in Japan.  I live with a wife, a child, a dog, and three cats.
