Shimizu Satomu, better known by the penname Shūgorō Yamamoto, is a Japanese novelist and short-story writer prolific during the Shōwa period of Japan. Despite the Yamamoto Shūgorō Prize being named after him, he modestly refused prestige in his lifetime, noting that his writing for a popular audience should not be considered literature. His works may be known for adaptation such as the Akira Kurosawa film  Sanjuro, an adaptation of the short story  Nichinichi hei-an ( Peaceful Days), and  Dodes'ka-den, an adaptation of the book  Kisetsu no nai machi ( The Town Without Seasons).
