Ao Jūmonji (十文字青, Jūmonji Ao) is a Japanese light novelist. He is from Hokuto, Hokkaidō Prefecture and graduated from Hokkaido University.[1][user-generated source]
Career
[edit]Originally, his pen name was Mizore Tōgami (十神霙), however he changed it to Ao Jūmonji (十文字青) due to finding the kanji for Mizore (霙) difficult to read for the reader. The first novel he ever wrote became the prototype for his debut series Bara no Maria (薔薇のマリア, lit. Maria of the Roses). In 2003, his novel Jyunketsu Burū Supuringu (純潔ブルースプリング, lit. Pure Blue Spring) won the special prize in the 7th Kadokawa Gakuen Novel Awards.[note 1] And in 2004, he officially debuted with the first volume of Bara no Maria.[2]
Prior to his career as a writer, Jūmonji was a street musician[3] selling his own original music. When the radio drama of Bara no Maria was released in 2006, under the pseudonym rosen, he wrote, composed and provided vocals for the song Don't make me alone.
He is a fairly prolific writer, having published 14 volumes in 2015 alone and rarely dipping below 4 volumes every year.[4]
