As a writer, he made his debut in 1996 with “Weeping Bonza Wives” (く っ す ん 大 黒, nomination for the Akutagawa Prize). Before that, I tried myself mainly as a songwriter. After being awarded the Akutagawa Prize in 2000 , which was awarded to him by his Scraps (き れ ены れ), he focused on literary activity. The works are distinguished by a bright distinctive style, social criticism and marginal poetics and the bottom in them intersect with black humor, nonsense literature and farce in the spirit of Ango Sakaguchi . It is considered to have revived the decadent sysёtsetsu genre of the first half of the 20th century , represented by the works of such authors as Isota Kamura and Syuko Tikamatsu . He was also influenced by Sakunosuke Oda , the genus of rakugo and zidigake .
