Hina Takashi is a biophysicist, novelist, and former pharmaceutical researcher.
Born in 1961 in Japan, he completed a master's degree in the Graduate School of Science at the University of Tokyo. He later earned a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences from Osaka University, specializing in biophysics, particularly structural biology and molecular dynamics.
The central theme of his fiction is the dynamic growth of characters through the interactions created by hearts that fail to fully understand one another—in other words, relationships that thrive on emotional tension and dangerous attraction. His novels combine science fiction and fantasy inspired by biology, physics, artificial life, and artificial intelligence with a concise, hard-boiled writing style.

The author was born in a town known for its Kamikaze history and grew up in a neighboring town of Hiroshima.
When his mother was a six-year-old girl who knew nothing of war, she innocently waved paper flags to see off young men departing for the battlefront. She carried that memory with her as a source of profound sorrow. As a child, the author himself was deeply frightened by the sight of returning soldiers who had lost arms or legs, begging on street corners. And his middle-school social studies teacher spoke matter-of-factly of surviving the atomic bombing, having lost both his young sister and his mother.
Beneath the author's hard-boiled prose runs a single conviction:
We must never repeat the same mistakes.
