Kunikida Doppo, also called Kunikida Kamekichi, (born Aug. 30, 1871, Chōshi, Chiba prefecture, Japan—died June 23, 1908, Chigasaki, Kanagawa prefecture), writer whose short stories, deeply imbued with a Wordsworthian awareness of nature, brought to Japanese literature a new attitude toward the individual. Kunikida grew up in southern Japan but went to Tokyo to enter Tokyo Senmon Gakkō (later Waseda University), where he adopted Christianity in 1889. He had already started to read the works of Ivan Turgenev, Thomas Carlyle, and Ralph Waldo Emerson when he went in 1893 to teach school in Saeki, on the southern Japanese island of Kyushu.
