Gyakusatsu kikan (虐殺器官, "Genocidal Organ") is the debut novel of the 21st century Japanese science fiction writer Project Itoh. It was first published by Hayakawa Publishing in 2007 and later re-printed in 2010 in paperback form. A poll by the yearly SF magazine SF ga yomitai ranked Gyakusatsu kikan as the number one domestic SF novel of the decade.[1]
There is a German death industrial band named Genocide Organ which released an album in Japan titled Genocide Organ 虐殺機関 in 2003. Itoh wrote in his blog that it is an unintended coincidence.[2] The band is notorious for its use of war themes and terrorism imagery.
