Ayuna Imura is a German-based queer Japanese-Italian writer. Growing up between natal Frankfurt and London and back again, she has cultivated a considerable knack for languages while also treasuring the unique blend of East and West in her heritage. When she's not chasing obscure story kernels down the rabbit hole of Japanese history or decoding the secrets of Chinese ideograms, she can be found on her balcony with ryokucha and red bean cakes as she works on her next story.
