Biography
Katagami was born in Ehime, Japan, and graduated Waseda University in 1906, majoring English literature. He supported naturalism as an editor of a journal Waseda bungaku.
He assumed the professor at Waseda University in 1910, but later he became interested in Russian literature and traveled to Russia to study Russian literature (1915-1918).
In 1920, when Waseda University created a department of Russian literature, Katagami was appointed as the chief professor. Masuji Ibuse, who was one of his students at that time, was harassed sexually ( homosexually ) by Katagami, so had to leave the university before graduation (1921).
Katagami's literature theory became the basis of proletarian literature in Japan.
