(Terayama Shoji [in rom.]) data view (1935-1983; birthdate appears as 1936 in his published works; Terayama debuted in the mid-1950s, he was similarly entranced by improvisational jazz (both as music and as a model for writing), similarly scandalous, and similarly positioned by the mid-1960s to be an elder leader (at around age thirty) in youth culture's "great refusal"; his creative output shifts over time from haiku, tanka (the thirty-one syllable genre), and free-verse poetry toward radio drama, television screenplays, and script-writing for early 60s New Wave films, then on to cultural critique, a novel about boxing, finally settling from 1967 on underground (angura) theatre and experimental film, which would occupy him until his death in 1983 at age forty-seven)
