Miyano Yashikazu is a Japanese journalist and author who has written extensively on the Japan-China relationship. He is the founder and editor-in-chief of the online journal “Dialogue.” Yashikazu’s work has focused on China’s rise as a global power, its impact on Japan, and the challenges posed by Beijing’s growing assertiveness in East Asia. In his latest book, “The China Syndrome: The Unseen Threat to Japan,” he argues that Beijing is seeking to create a new type of regional order in East Asia that would include Japan as a key player. Yashikazu has been an outspoken critic of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s policies in East Asia, and he has been critical of Beijing for its aggressive behavior in the region. He was one of the few Japanese journalists to travel to China during the height of the Chinese military campaign in East Timor. Born in Tokyo in 1965, Yashikazu graduated from Tokyo University with a degree in political science before working as an assistant editor at The Asahi Shimbun Newspaper from 1992 to 1998. From 1998 to 2002, he was an associate professor at Kyoto University’s Graduate School of Journalism before becoming an editor-in-chief at Dialogue magazine from 2002 to 2006. From 2006 until his appointment as editor-in-chief at “Dialogue,” he also served as a visiting professor at Tsinghua University’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Since taking over at “Dialogue,” Yashikazu has made significant changes to the journal’s editorial policy and editorial direction. He has called for more open discussion between journalists and government officials about China’s role in East Asia, increased focus on international relations issues, and greater attention to cross-cultural issues. In addition, Yashikazu has pushed for more critical coverage of Chinese economic policies and recent moves by Beijing to expand its influence inside Japan.

PERSONALITY MIYANO YASHIKAZU
Miyano isn’t very outgoing but he is not shy either. He has a lot of close friends and good relationships to his classmates, both past and present. He is very indecisive about things he’s not sure of, but he’s determined once he decides. Although he is not a pushover, he is polite and thoughtful.
Miyano is sensitive to his feminine features. This may be due to the past experiences of Miyano with his classmates gently teasing him about looking ‘girly’ or the girl he was in love with suggesting that he crossdress. Although he is now slightly more masculine, this complicated about his looks still plagues him.
