This is Saito Tomohiro, the author of the book above.
He's given a long interview revealing every step of his life until 2010
when he stopped being Mizushima Hiro, the actor,  and has concentrated on being just a writer.

Wish I can understand Japanese!!!

~~ And I was so glad in the first instance I saw this cover,
 thinking he's returned to modelling.~~

For anyone who reads this and get confused, please read  THIS  and  THIS.
He had proved himself to be a serious writer and good enough to win this prestigious award.

Never knew that Hiro is a writer!

Eh? Ehhhh? He changed his name in order to write novels? Not the same name as him when he was actor? *confused*
But, anyways, I'm soooo happy to see him and to hear he really is writing books as he said <33

Saito Tomohiro is his real name. He used it to enter in the competition to avoid people knowing him.
You guys have to read THIS. (http://community.livejournal.com/japan_now/1160331.html)
