Rohan Koda, a modern Japanese writer, devoted himself to the translation and research of The Water Margin for over thirty years. With a profound understanding of Chinese literature, Rohan broke through the traditional research mode,took The Water Margin as his research object, and even focused on the Chinese scholar, Hu Shi and his research on The Water Margin. When translating The Water Margin, Rohan kept the traits of Chinese characters with an exegetic translation style,which showed the readers the grandeur of The Water Margin’s world with detailed oral annotation. Furthermore, he carried over his research of The Water Margin to the creation of his own literature and solved the problem of not being fully enjoyable and lyrical in research and translation. Finally, through this unique pattern of research, translation and creation, he has realized the identity integration of scholar, translator and author.
