Ryūnosuke Akutagawa was a Japanese writer active in the Taishō period in Japan. He is regarded as the "Father of the Japanese short story" and Japan's premier literary award, the Akutagawa Prize, is named after him. He committed suicide at the age of 35 through an overdose of barbital.

 “-Suke” is a common form in Japanese name, Ryu means dragon. He was named Ryunosuke because he was born in a dragon hour of a dragon day in a dragon year. As we know, the animal symbol of (5) is dragon. Ryūnosuke’s life code is very extreme: he had three (5)s as Authority but also contains Water as Strength, so it is not easy to say if he was strong or weak. But he was weak, because Talent (Wood) was too strong and released most of his power. In another word, he had Metal-Water as favor, Wood-Fire-Earth as foe.

Ryunosuke began writing after entering Tokyo Imperial University in 1913, where he studied English literature. He wrote Rashōmon in 1915, which didn’t bring attention of the public.

Ryunosuke suffered disorder of physical and mental health in his 30s, and he committed suicide 1927/7/24. Lots of Japanese writers committed suicide, Ryunosuke is one of the reason that suicide is so popular.

Ryunosuke suffered mental disorder because he was mentally weak, and the fortune made him weaker and weaker. 2(6) is Wood and Fire, and 1927/7/24 was a 4(4) year, 4(8) month and 6(8) day. You can see why he pick this day to die. In my book, I have a series of examples about this kind of men: Grigori Perelman, John Nash and Ludwig Wittgenstein.
