This study aimed to examine the genre codes of the Denki Shosetsu in 1980s Japan and how they have been reflected in Kasai Kiyoshi’s Vampire Wars. It also aimed to explore the relationship between Vampire Wars and the perception of the Denki Shosetsu at that time, as well as Kasai’s criticism of the genre. In 1980s Japan, there was much mention of the Denki Shosetsu, and various sources, such as magazine features, have confirmed the genre codes. Kasai intentionally concentrated various genres’ characteristics in Vampire Wars and ensured that the work’s features matched the genre codes of the Denki Shosetsu that were disseminated in the 1980s. In the process, the inconsistency between Kasai’s authorial and critical positions was revealed. Vampire Wars reflects the concept of “broad Denki Shosetsu,” beyond his critical scope, accidentally connecting the concept of the Denki Shosetsu in the 1920s and the post-1990s situation. Vampire Wars not only shows the strong presence of the Denki Shosetsu in the 1980s, but it is also a symbolic work that penetrates the modern and contemporary history of the Denki Shosetsu in Japan.
