John Nathan (born 1940) is the translator of Japanese works written by celebrated authors such as Yukio Mishima and Kenzaburō Ōe.[1] Nathan is also an Emmy-award winning producer, writer and director of many films about Japanese culture and society and American business.

He studied at University of Tokyo. He is currently the Takashima Professor of Japanese Cultural Studies at University of California, Santa Barbara.[2][3] John Nathan's fields include Japanese culture, Japanese literature, Japanese cinema, the theory and practice of translation[4], and the sociology of business culture. The first Westerner to graduate as a regular student to the University of Tokyo[5], he spent many years living and studying in Japan. He is the author of a definitive biography of novelist Yukio Mishima and he has also translated novels by Mishima and by Nobel laureate Kenzaburō Ōe. When Ōe received the Nobel Prize in 1994, Nathan accompanied him to Stockholm.[6]

Nathan was described by The Japan Times as "the one critic of Japanese literature that towers above the rest."[7]
