Yoshikazu Takeuchi (竹内 義和, Takeuchi Yoshikazu, born February 27, 1955 in Wakayama Prefecture) is a Japanese writer of fan guides and novels, as well as a radio co-host. His work was the basis for the 1997 Satoshi Kon anime film Perfect Blue and a 2002 live-action film titled Perfect Blue: Yume Nara Samete. Takeuchi's book Ultraman Visits the Grave is about a young boy who happens to be a fan of Ultraman.

gollark: Why do you have a table of key codes?
gollark: I do program a lot of the stuff I use myself, but I can write much more useful code if I *can* use, well, crypto libraries and stuff.
gollark: For example: cryptography and maths; lots of graphics stuff; useful stuff I don't want to copy paste into every program; encoding/decoding sometimes.
gollark: Sometimes I don't want to write my own code to handle some complex task.
gollark: There are 85 million "app stores" but none of them have everything or even most things.
