He was a high school classmate of Hideki Hosoe, and in his third year, Yoshimura was the head of the photography club and Hosoe was a member. After that, he went on to study at Waseda University, and since the 1960s he has been writing reviews for camera magazines and other publications. Photo Hyoronsha, which he founded himself, has published many wonderful photo books, including Daido Moriyama's ``Goodbye to Photography'' by Daido Moriyama, and ``I am a King'' by Shomei Tomatsu, both of which are world-famous. As the name suggests, Photo Contest is a magazine that mainly collects entries from amateurs, and Koshio Kuwabara and others also make selections.
