Regarded as one of the most well-known science fiction writers in Japan, he is perhaps best recognized for the 1973 story Japan Sinks, which has inspired numerous adaptations and continuations. These include a live action film and television series, two radio dramas, a 2006 film remake, a sequel novel co-authored by Komatsu and Koshu Tani, a 2020 animated Netflix series, and more. Several of his other stories including Virus, ESPY, Sayonara Jupiter and Tokyo Blackout have also been adapted to film by Toho and Daiei. Komatsu passed away at age 80 due to pneumonia on July 26, 2011. |
