Yano was born in Matsuyama , Ehime Prefecture and grew up in Kobe . After studying at Chuo University for three years, he was drafted into the Japanese Army, serving two years and two months. After the war he made a living collecting trash on a US military base, where he became fascinated with the colorfully-illustrated science fiction works thrown away by the soldiers. He learned to read English and eventually began translating science fiction. The works of Robert A. Heinlein , Frederik Pohl , Desmond Bagley , and Frank Herbert were among the some 360 translations by him. He also wrote stories of his own, including '' The Legend Of The Paper Spaceship '', which first appeared in English translation in 1984 and has appeared in several collections. Some of his stories have been adapted into Anime . Mr. Yano died on October 13, 2004, from Cancer of the Large Intestine .
