We are pleased to announce the launch of the teaser site for "hon.wiki (Hon Wiki)," a Japanese author database that aggregates profiles, publications, and activities of Japanese authors and disseminates them globally in both Japanese and English.
hon.wiki is a new information platform designed with the concept of "Every Author, Center Stage," aiming to shine a spotlight not on books, but on the people who wrote them.
We aim to preserve each author's knowledge, experiences, and stories for the future and deliver them not only to readers in Japan but to audiences worldwide.
On the teaser site, we are sharing the service concept and future outlook, as well as opening registration for an advance notice email newsletter for authors, publishers, and publishing professionals.

Background
From a market where "books" are the stars, to a platform where "authors" take center stage
Currently, most platforms for searching and introducing books are structured around the "book (product)" as the central element.
On the other hand, after publication, authors often lack sufficient channels to continuously share their activities, thoughts, and past works.
Moreover, author information is scattered across publisher websites, social media, blogs, and personal sites. This makes it difficult for readers and publishing professionals—both in Japan and abroad—to deeply understand or discover authors.
Under the concepts of
"Your thoughts and books connect to the future"
"Let's shine the light not on the book, but on the person who wrote it"
hon.wiki aims to spotlight each individual author and provide a platform where they can consistently share their value over the long term.
Service Overview
"hon.wiki" is a database service that centralizes the profiles, publications, and activities of Japanese authors.
It provides a dedicated page for each author, enabling the publication of the following types of information:
Author Profile
Clearly introduce your personal story, areas of expertise, and activities.
List of Publications
Display all your published books in a list format to create connections with readers.
Author Message
Share your personal thoughts and vision directly with readers.
Multilingual Support
Publish information in both Japanese and English to help build connections with international readers.
Other Author-Related Websites
Up to three related websites the author wishes to promote—such as lecture activities, column writing, or e-commerce sites—can be listed.
Various Links
Consolidate links to social media, official websites, and other platforms.
Video Message
One video message or book introduction video can be featured.
"Author Contact Function" – Direct Communication with Authors
Even authors without a personal website can promote their activities and achievements while accepting inquiries for speaking engagements, interviews, writing commissions, and more.
[Main Features] Connecting Japanese Authors with the World
The greatest feature of hon.wiki is that it is designed from the outset to promote Japanese authors internationally.
By publishing author profiles and book information not only in Japanese but also in English, we aim to create new opportunities for connections with readers, publishers, translators, and media professionals both in Japan and abroad.
In the future, we aim to widely disseminate information as a comprehensive Japanese author database, becoming a "global hub" where talented authors with valuable knowledge, experiences, and stories can be discovered across language barriers.
