== Career and writings ==
Motohiko Izawa graduated from Chitose Tokyo Metropolitan High School, now Roka Tokyo Metropolitan High School, and from the faculty of law at Waseda University. While he was in university his story ''Tōsaku no Hōfuku'' ("Retaliation for Perversion") was a candidate for the Edogawa Rampo Award. After graduation he joined TBS as a news reporter. In 1980, at the time he was working at the politics section of the news bureau, his novel ''Sarumaru Genshi-ko'' ("Illusionary Travel Around Sarumaru") won the 26th Edogawa Rampo Award. ''Sarumaru Genshi-ko'' is a both detective fiction and a historical novel in which the protagonist mentally travels in time under the influence of medications and, in a science-fiction style twist, amalgamates with the mind of Shinobu Orikuchi and solves crimes in Orikuchi’s time as well as unravelling the mystery of the Heian-era iroha and the relationship of the poets Sarumaru no Taifu and Kakinomoto no Hitomaro. In 1985 Izawa left TBS to become a full-time writer.
Most of Izawa’s novels are on the plane of what he calls historical mysteries, in which he ties modern-day murders into his detective fiction while taking the mysteries of history as his themes. In addition, he also works on pure historical fiction, and he develops his own unique theories on history, particularly since 1992 in the successive instalments of his popular series of non-fiction history books, ''Gyakusetsu no Nihonshi'' ("Paradoxical Japanese History").
In his early days he also wrote fantasy and the novelization of the Nintendo game Dragon Buster. Recently he has turned his attention outside of Japanese history and has released books such as a series of “intensive courses” on the religions of Buddhism, Shintoism, Confucianism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
