    Taichi Yamada

    Taichi Yamada ( 山 田 太 一 , Yamada Taichi, 6 June 1934[1] – 29 November 2023) was a Japanese
    screenwriter and novelist. His real name was Taichi Ishizaka (石坂 太一, Ishizaka Taichi).

    Early life
    Yamada was in Asakusa, Tokyo, a setting used in his novel Ijintachi to no natsu. He attended Waseda
    University before entering the Shōchiku film studios, where he trained as an assistant director under
    Keisuke Kinoshita.[2]

    Scriptwriting career
    Yamada left the company at age 30 to focus on writing scripts for television dramas, penning such
    successful series as Kishibe no arubamu and Fuzoroi no ringotachi.[2] He also wrote scripts for film and
    the stage.

    Novelist career
    As a novelist, his novel Ijintachi to no natsu (異人たちとの夏), published in 1987, won the Yamamoto
    Shūgorō Prize.[3] It was translated into English, in 2003, as Strangers. Another Yamada novel, In Search
    of a Distant Voice, was translated and published in 2006 from a novel originally published in Japan in
    1989. A third Yamada novel, I Haven't Dreamed of Flying for a While (飛ぶ夢をしばらく見ない, Tobu
    yume o shibaraku minai), was translated into English and published in 2008.

    The first film adaptation of Strangers, The Discarnates, competed for the Golden St. George at the 16th
    Moscow International Film Festival in July 1989 and won other select film awards. The second film
    adaptation, All of Us Strangers, premiered at Telluride Film Festival in August 2023 and also went on to
    be nominated for and win many film awards.

    Death
    Yamada died on 29 November 2023, at the age of 89.[4]
