Chris Ranchoux

Born in France in 1967 in a lost region called Auvergne, Chris Ranchoux has shown since his early days a strong interest in Japan and he moved there in his 20s to pursue his academic cursus at the University of Tokyo.

For more than 20 years, Chris has worked in the "luxury" industry. Working in Japan and abroad as a Country General Manager for several of the most prestigious houses of Jewelry, traditional watch making and luxury tableware. The taste of glittering and overstatement as well as the stench of political alliances and betrayal tired him along the years. Nevertheless, it helped him also to build the foundations of some intrigues or some wicked characters appearing in his books.

Now, he writes books and do illustration works, retired in the deep mountains of Japan.

But the specter of his business life follows him and it is never far away...
