(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Ken'ichi Yoshida was a Japanese author and literary critic in Shōwa period Japan. Early life Yoshida was born in Tokyo as the eldest son of future Prime Minister of Japan Shigeru Yoshida, who at the time was a Japanese diplomat in Rome.

He started living with his parents at the age of six, when his father was posted to Qingdao, China. Thereafter he lived in Paris, London, and Tianjin before moving back to Tokyo where he graduated from secondary school. In October 1930 he enrolled at King's College, Cambridge, where he was interested in the works of William Shakespeare, Charles Baudelaire, and Jules Laforgue. He became a student of Goldsworthy Dickinson, but dropped out and went back to Tokyo in February 1931, on Dickinson's advice that in order to devote his life to literature he should live in Japan. During the next few years he studied French at the Athénée Français in Kanda, Tokyo.
