Kitagawa Fuyuhiko ( Japanese 北 川 冬 彦 ; aka: Taguro Tadahiko ( 田 畔 忠彦 ); born June 3, 1900 ; † April 12, 1990 ) was a Japanese poet and film critic.

Kitagawa published his poems, which were influenced by French surrealism, in small magazines such as A (1924-27) and Men , before founding Shi to Shiron in 1928 , which became the most important journal for modern poetry in Japan. With the translation of Max Jacob Cornet à dés and André Breton's Manifeste du surréalisme , he became a pioneer of avant-garde European literature in Japan. Kitagawa's poems appeared in Iyarashii kami (1936) and Jikkenshitsu (1941).
