Naoki Hyakuta (百田 尚樹, Hyakuta Naoki, born February 23, 1956) is a Japanese novelist and television producer. He is known for his right-wing political views and denying Japanese war crimes prior to and during World War II.[1] He is particularly known for his 2006 novel The Eternal Zero, which became a popular 2013 film,[2] his controversial period as a governor of government broadcaster NHK, as well as his support of Nanjing Massacre denial.[3]
Hyakuta has written a number of other books, several of which have been turned into films, such as Bokkusu[4] and Monsuta.[5]
The Eternal Zero[edit]
In 2006 Hyakuta's novel The Eternal Zero was published. It became a best-seller, with four million copies sold.[6] It was made into a popular 2013 movie.[7] The novel was criticised by famed Studio Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki as being "a pack of lies" about the war,[8] leading to Hyakuta speculating that Miyazaki "wasn't right in the head".[9]
