Maui, Hawaii, USA
Makana Yamamoto is a science-fiction author born on the island of Maui who splits their time between Hawaii and the mainland United States. A scientist at heart who fell in love with science fiction as a teenager and led their college's science-fiction-and-fantasy interest house, Yamamoto turned to fiction as a way to explore both scientific curiosity and their own cultural heritage. Their debut novel, Hammajang Luck, was followed by The Obake Code, both examples of the diverse, queer science fiction Yamamoto is known for, centering multicultural settings and imagining futures for communities speculative fiction has historically left out. Beyond writing, Yamamoto enjoys tabletop role-playing games and cooking, interests that inform the communal, inventive worlds of their fiction.
