Tatsuki Ryo and the Nankai Trough
私が見た未来 · Watashi ga Mita Mirai01 · WHAT IT IS
Overview
A bilingual source study separating Tatsuki Ryo's 1999 and 2021 editions while documenting the geography, coastal communities and recurring great earthquakes along the Nankai Trough since 684.

105 · TATSUKI RYO AND THE NANKAI RECORD
Keep one dream narrative separate from a millennium of earthquakes
1999 first edition · 2021 complete edition · 2025 result · 684–1946 earthquake historyTatsuki Ryo's books form a traceable publication record. The Nankai Trough is also a real plate boundary with recurring great earthquakes. Combining those facts does not show that the book predicted the date of the next Nankai rupture. This record preserves editions, regional context, earthquake history and scientific hazard as separate evidence layers.
01 · EDITION & OUTCOME LEDGER
Fix four different dates hidden under one book title
First edition
The cover printed the month-year phrase 'a major disaster in March 2011.'
Pre-event recordTōhoku disaster
The month-year match revived attention in the out-of-print book and the author's dream notes.
Observed eventComplete edition
The July 2025 sea-rise and giant-tsunami narrative was newly published.
Post-2011 editionWindow closed
No seabed rupture and giant tsunami on the described scale occurred within the stated period.
Did not occur in window02 · PLACE BEFORE PROPHECY
'Nankai' is not one modern administrative region but a long Pacific hazard belt
Here the Nankai region means the Pacific coast facing the trough from Suruga Bay to the Hyūga-nada Sea. The Philippine Sea Plate subducts beneath Japan, and eastern and western segments have ruptured together or after delays.Tōkai and Suruga
Shizuoka · AichiSuruga Bay, ports, cities and a major manufacturing corridor sit near the eastern segment.
Kii Peninsula
Mie · WakayamaMountains reach the sea around small bays and ports; pilgrimage landscapes, fishing communities and coastal settlements share the same terrain.
Southeast Shikoku
Tokushima · KochiA long Kuroshio-facing coast, fishing culture, narrow coastal plains and estuary cities define the exposure.
Hyūga-nada
off Oita · MiyazakiThe western end meets eastern Kyushu waters, where separate large earthquakes also recur.
03 · HISTORICAL EARTHQUAKE LEDGER
Major events preserved in documents and geological traces
Hakuhō (Tenmu)
Widely treated as the earliest documentary Nankai earthquake, with subsidence and damage reported in Tosa.
Ninna
A great Nankai event and tsunami caused many coastal deaths.
Eichō and Kōwa tradition
Long treated as an east-west pair about three years apart, though the existence and rupture extent of the 1099 event have been re-examined.
Shōhei (Kōan)
Medieval records preserve strong shaking and tsunami damage along Kii and Shikoku.
Meiō and the western gap
The eastern event is clear, but the timing and extent of a corresponding western rupture remain uncertain.
Keichō
A tsunami-heavy event with comparatively limited shaking records; its linked rupture pattern remains debated.
Hōei
One of Japan's largest historical earthquakes, commonly modeled as a broad multi-segment rupture with severe Kii and Shikoku tsunamis.
Ansei Tōkai and Nankai
The western earthquake followed the eastern event by about 32 hours. Local documents and the Inamura-no-Hi tradition preserve the tsunami experience.
Shōwa Tōnankai and Nankai
The western Nankai event followed the eastern rupture by about two years; its tsunami reached 4–6 m on parts of the Tokushima and Kochi coasts.
04 · RUPTURE PATTERNS
Nankai earthquakes have not behaved as one event at one point
Hōei is the standard linked-segment example.
Ansei Nankai followed Ansei Tōkai.
Shōwa Nankai followed Shōwa Tōnankai.
Because a major rupture in one segment can raise concern about another, Japan operates Nankai Trough Earthquake Extra Information. It is not an exact-date prediction, and a great earthquake may still occur suddenly without a preceding advisory.

Preserve the partial match, failed deadline and real hazard together
The March 2011 month-year phrase on the 1999 cover deserves preservation as a rare pre-event match, but it did not specify place, hazard type or exact day. The July 2025 disaster narrative, published in 2021, did not occur within its window. Independently, the Nankai Trough remains a real hazard documented since 684. SALGIL does not let prophecy scoring replace emergency science—or vice versa.07 · SOURCES
