About the author

Akira Suzuki (Japanese: 鈴木明) was the pen name of Japanese non-fiction writer and journalist Akio Imai. Born in Tokyo, he graduated from Rikkyo University's Department of Humanities and began his career as a reporter for Shūkan Taimuzu magazine. He later joined TBS, where he worked in program scheduling and served as chief editor of the magazine Chōsa Jōhō. While at TBS, he authored The Illusion of the Nanjing Massacre, a controversial book that questioned the veracity of widely accepted narratives about the Nanjing Massacre. The book, which argued that journalist Harold Timperley acted as a covert propaganda agent for the Chinese Nationalist government, won the 4th Soichi Oya Nonfiction Award in 1973 and sold over 200,000 copies. Suzuki denied events such as the hundred-man killing contest and claimed accurate victim counts were impossible. Though often labeled a moderate, he was criticized by historians for denialist positions and questionable research practices.
