Novala Takemoto ( 嶽本 野ばら , Takemoto Nobara ) is the professional name of Toshiaki Takemoto ( 嶽本 稔明 , Takemoto Toshiaki ) , a Japanese author, and fashion designer. [1]

Biography [ edit ]

Takemoto was born in Uji , south of Kyoto . As a child, he was shy and preferred drawing and reading (two of his favorite authors were Osamu Dazai and Yasunari Kawabata ) to spending time with others, and was a big fan of the anime series Candy Candy , in the discovery of which he was "happy to finally find what [he] liked". [2] He was also sometimes beaten by his father, which he says persuaded him to follow his own path in life. [3] After dropping out of Osaka University of Arts in 1987, [4] he participated in a variety of artistic, musical and theatrical activities. From 1992 to 1997, he made his literary debut contributing serial essays to Hanagata Bunka Ts?shin (花形文化通信), a Kansai free arts newspaper. These essays were collected and published in book format in 1998 as Soleilnuit: For Becoming a Proper Young Lady , and received wide recognition. These essays also increased the popularity of the Japanese term otome , referring to a young lady or young maiden . Shogakukan published his debut novel Missin' in 2000. He was nominated for the Yukio Mishima Literary Award twice, for his novels Emily (in 2003) and Lolita (in 2004). [2]

Takemoto is best known for Shimotsuma Monogatari , titled Kamikaze Girls in English. The series was adapted to a manga and a film which was directed by Tetsuya Nakashima . Another of his novels, Twins: A Variety Store Named "The End of the World" , was also adapted for film in 2001 by Kiseki Hamada. [5]

Takemoto was arrested in September 2007 for violating the Cannabis Control Law and was later convicted of the crime. [6] [7] He was arrested again in 2015 after he was found to have two grams of contraband that are banned under the Narcotics Control Law in his possession. [8]
