About Kan Kikuchi
Hiroshi Kikuchi , also known as Kan Kikuchi, was a Japanese author and publisher. He established the publishing company Bungeishunjū, the monthly magazine of the same name, the Japan Writer's Association and both the Akutagawa and Naoki Prize for popular literature. He came to prominence for the plays Madame Pearl and Father Returns, but his ample support for the Imperial Japanese war effort led to his marginalization in the postwar period. He was also the head of Daiei Motion Picture Company. He was known to have been an avid player of mahjong.
