Japanese-American poet associated with the Beat Generation, whose first solo collection of poetry, Outspeaks: A Rhapsody, was published in 1997 when he was aged 71.

Saijo went on to serve in the U.S. Army and study at the University of Southern California. Later he became associated with Beat Generation figures including Kerouac, with whom he wrote, traveled and became friends. Saijo died on 2 June 2011 in Volcano, Hawaii.
