{{nihongo|'''Tomoyuki Hoshino'''|星野智幸|Hoshino Tomoyuki|born July 13, 1965}} is a Japanese writer. He has won the [[Bungei Prize]], the [[Mishima Yukio Prize]], the [[Noma Literary Prize|Noma Literary New Face Prize]], the [[Ōe Kenzaburō Prize]], the [[Yomiuri Prize]], and the [[Tanizaki Prize]].

==Biography==
Born in [[Los Angeles]], he accompanied his family back to Japan before he was three years old. He attended [[Waseda University]] and worked for a while as a journalist after graduating in 1988. He spent the better part of the years 1990-5 living in [[Mexico]] before returning to Japan, where for a time he worked translating from Spanish-language movies into [[Japanese language|Japanese]]. In 1997 he published his first [[novel]] ''The Last Gasp'', for which he was awarded the [[Bungei Prize]]. He won the 13th [[Yukio Mishima Prize]] for his second novel ''The Mermaid Sings Wake Up'', which was published in 2000. He won the [[Noma Literary Prize|Noma Literary New Face Prize]] for ''Fantasista'' in 2003. Other works include ''The Poisoned Singles Hot Springs'' (2002), ''Naburiai'' (2003), ''Lonely Hearts Killer'' (2004), ''Alkaloid Lovers'' (2005), ''The Worussian-Japanese Tragedy'' (2006), ''The Story of Rainbow and Chloe'' (2006), and the collection ''We the Children of Cats'' (2006). His short story "Sand Planet" was nominated for the [[Akutagawa Prize]] for 2002.

He has published many short stories and essays, both fiction and non-fiction. He also writes guest commentaries for newspapers and journals on sports (especially soccer), [[Latin America]], politics, [[nationalism]], and the arts. His short story "Chino" has been translated into English by Lucy Fraser, and is now part of his short story collection "We, the Children of Cats" (2012), published by [[PM Press]] and otherwise translated by Brian Bergstrom; his novel ''Lonely Hearts Killer'' has been translated into English by [[Adrienne Carey Hurley|Adrienne Hurley]] and likewise published by PM Press.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pmpress.org/content/article.php?story=Hoshino|website=PM Press|title=Authors: Tomoyuki Hoshino|access-date=September 18, 2018}}</ref>

Hoshino travels frequently and has participated in writers' caravans with authors from [[Taiwan]], India, and elsewhere. In 2006, his critique of [[Ichiro Suzuki]]'s remarks at the [[World Baseball Classic]] were considered controversial by some, and so have some of his other writings related to [[Japanese nationalism]], the [[emperor]], [[Human sexuality|sexuality]], [[bullying]], and [[Japanese society]]. Also in 2006, the literary journal Bungei dedicated a special issue to Hoshino and his work. He teaches [[creative writing]] at Waseda, his alma mater. In January 2007, he was nominated again for the [[Akutagawa Prize]], this time for {{Nihongo|Plant Examination Room|植物診断室}}.<ref>{{Cite web |title=夫でもなく、父親でもない"大人の男性"の...『植物診断室』星野智幸 {{!}} 単行本 - 文藝春秋 |url=https://books.bunshun.jp/ud/book/num/9784163256306 |access-date=2025-01-17 |website=文藝春秋BOOKS |language=ja}}</ref>

In 2011, Hoshino won the [[Kenzaburō Ōe Prize]] for his novel ''Ore Ore'' (2010), which explores the meaning of [[Identity (social science)|identity]] in the [[postmodernity|postmodern]] world.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.cinra.net/news/2011/04/07/120821|language=japanese|title=『第5回大江健三郎賞』は星野智幸『俺俺』|trans-title=5th Kenzaburō Ōe prize winner is Tomoyuki Hoshino for ''Ore Ore''|work=Cinra.net|date=April 7, 2011|access-date=September 18, 2018}}</ref> The title takes its name from the first-person Japanese pronoun {{nihongo|''ore''|俺|'I' or 'me'}}. Early in the novel, the narrator engages in a kind of scam known in Japan as a {{nihongo|''ore-ore sagi''|俺俺詐欺|'me-me scam'}}, in which he calls up an older person, pretends to be a relative, and tries to get the person on the other end of the phone line to send money. In the novel, the narrator finds himself unwittingly pulled into the life of the person whose identity he has fraudulently assumed, at the same time that someone else assumes his identity. This starts a chain-reaction of identity-stealing that extends to the edges of society, creating an increasingly surreal and dangerous world in which no one is exactly who they seem. The novel has been translated as ''ME'' by Charles De Wolf for Akashic Books.

In 2014 Hoshino won the [[Yomiuri Prize]] for ''{{nihongo3|The Night Is Not Over|夜は終わらない|Yoru wa owaranai}}'', a novel based on ''[[One Thousand and One Nights]]'' that shifts narrative voice to misdirect the reader.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.sankei.com/life/news/150302/lif1503020028-n1.html|language=japanese|title=川上弘美さんと星野智幸さんに第６６回読売文学賞贈賞|trans-title=66th Yomiuri Prize given to Hiromi Kawakami and Tomoyuki Hoshino|work=[[Sankei Shimbun]]|date=March 2, 2015|access-date=September 18, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/life/book/feature/CO016712/20150605-OYT8T50128.html|language=japanese|title=小説賞「夜は終わらない」星野智幸さん４９|trans-title=Novel Prize: ''The Night Is Not Over'' by 49 year old Tomoyuki Hoshino|work=[[Yomiuri Shimbun]]|last=村田|first=雅幸|date=February 11, 2015|access-date=September 18, 2018}}</ref> In 2018 he won the [[Tanizaki Prize]] for {{nihongo||焰|''Honō''}}.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.asahi.com/articles/ASL8W4WVBL8WUCVL01C.html|language=ja|title=第５４回谷崎潤一郎賞に星野智幸さん|trans-title=Tomoyuki Hoshino wins the 54th Tanizaki Prize|work=[[Asahi Shimbun]]|date=August 27, 2018|access-date=December 3, 2018}}</ref>
