Yukio Mishima

Yukio Mishima (January 14, 1925 – November 25, 1970) was a famous Japanese author and poet, who was responsible for writing the novel The Temple of the Golden Pavilion in 1956, which was translated into English In 1959.

After a failed coup d'état regarding Japan, due to his radical right-wing politics, Yukio Mishima ended up committing suicide via seppuku (ritualistic suicide via disembowelment). Then-Japanese Self-Defense Forces member Kazuhira Miller bore witness to Mishima's suicide, which alongside his not advancing in the ranks of the JSDF and his mother dying a few years before from her STD gotten from the post-war period influenced Miller to resign from the JSDF and pursue life as a mercenary, despite his not personally agreeing with Mishima's vision.
