Going by the codename of Takatsu, (or taka-chan in short) and preferring to wield a trusty mobile phone (Nokia N95-4), he never fails to deliver. Words that is.

The author of Secondhand Memories and Wish Upon A Call has been writing since he was 10, an avid fan of mystery novels, romance j-drama, punk rock and durian. Since then, he has started countless and an uncountable number of novels, some having only a first paragraph, some over a hundred pages, all of which have never been finished.

Enter Wish Upon A Call and Secondhand Memories. Two stories he has become determined to see through, with the much-needed support and input of online readers and fans all over the globe, and an undying love for plugging away on a mobile phone, taka-chan brings to you a novel full of depth, emotion and twists. Catch him on the subway, in a cafe, on a plane, in a park, or in bed typing and typing on that little trusty cell phone screen.

The author is an university student who enjoys reading and writing and believes education is a pandemic disease wiping through the globe. (Even though it gave him the words to write).

He partakes in the new cell phone novel (keitai shousetsu) phenomenon that originates from Japan, allowing readers to read, write and subscribe to novels on their mobile phones. Each novel written in simple language, consisting mostly of dialogue and little description, they are designed to fit on a cell phone screen. Following after the young aspiring mobile novelists of Japan, other nations of the globe are bound to follow.
