{{Nihongo|'''Kazufumi Shiraishi'''|白石一文|Shiraishi Kazufumi}} is a Japanese novelist and the son of novelist {{ill|Ichirō Shiraishi|ja|白石一郎}}. The two are the only father-son pair to have both received the [[Naoki Prize]], the father on his eighth nomination after numerous disappointments and the son on his second, for the 2009 ''Hokanaranu hito e (To an Incomparable Other)''. At his prize press conference, the son joked that he had always “hated” the Naoki because of the grief it had put his father through.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.booksfromjapan.jp/authors/item/24-kazufumi-shiraishi|title=Books from Japan: Kazufumi Shiraishi|newspaper=JLit|accessdate=26 July 2016}}</ref>
