Sakae Saitō
is a Japanese author of popular fiction active during the Showa and Heisei periods of Japan.
==Biography==
Saitō was born in Ota-ku, Tokyo. In 1944, he moved with his mother to her hometown of Fujisawa, Kanagawa. He started writing novels from junior high school. In high school, he was a classmate of Shintaro Ishihara, and assisted him in the creation of the literary circle ''Shonan Bungei''. After graduating from Tokyo University with a legal degree, he went to work as a bureaucrat at the Yokohama city hall, continuing to write novels on the side. With his legal background and Tokyo University credentials, he was often offered more lucrative posts within the central government, but he always refused as this would rob him of time to write.
In 1966, Saitō was awarded the 12th Edogawa Rampo Award for his mystery novel 〔(Lauréats du Prix Edogawa )〕 He followed on this with several best-selling mystery series, creating the "Tarot Himeko series", the "Inspector Edogawa Murder-Travel series", and the "Inspector Kobayakawa series", which were the basis for several popular television series.〔(List of TV dramas ) (Japanese) 〕
Saitō is known for his tremendous creative speed, at times producing several hundred pages of work a week, or completing a novel within the span of a month. In particular, the ''Tarot Himeko'' series exceeded 80 novels from 1985 to 1992, and is also credited with creating a revival in the fortune-telling industry and the sales of tarot cards in Japan.
