Who is Ryo Tatsuki?

Ryo Tatsuki is a Japanese mangaka or manga artist who has reportedly predicted several events that have happened and others that are about to happen. Ryo Tatsuki began her professional career in the 1970s and in the 1980s she shared with the world that she had a series of dreams that were very different from her normal dreams and that she felt were prophetic. She began to share a little with people close to her and made her notes and observations. She was not taken seriously then.

Major predictions

Tatsuki came into the limelight in 1999 following the release of her book ‘The Future I Saw’. The Future I Saw is a collection of the dreams she claims to have experienced over the years. The book was not noticed much but several of Tatsuki’s predictions have reportedly come true and now she has a good number of followers in Japan and other places.

One of her most famous forecasts is the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan’s northern Tohoku region, killing over 18,000 and triggering the Fukushima nuclear crisis. This occurred in the same month and year that Tatsuki had predicted. Reportedly, her book also tells about the death of Freddie Mercury, member of the popular British rock band Queen.

What is Ryo Tatsuki’s prediction for July 2025?

Ryo Tatsuki issued a stark warning about a potentially catastrophic event set to strike in July 2025 which is mentioned in a revised edition of The Future I Saw which was published in 2021.

CNN and other media reports say that Tatsuki’s prophecy describes a massive undersea rupture forming between Japan and the Philippines, capable of generating tsunamis three times the height of those seen during the 2011 Tohoku tsunami. This prediction contains disturbing descriptions of Japan’s oceans “boiling,” which some interpret as a possible reference to an underwater volcanic eruption or a massive seismic event.

The epicenter of this projected calamity is drawn as a diamond-shaped region connecting Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan, and the Northern Mariana Islands. This part of the Pacific Ocean is known for its intense geological activity.

Impact of the July 2025 prediction

Reports say that this prediction by Tatsuki has scared those who had plans to travel these places and has also significantly influenced travel behaviour, mostly among tourists who were preparing to travel to Japan. WWPKG, a Hong Kong-based travel agency has said that bookings to Japan have gone down by 50 percent during the recent Easter break. It said that the trend is expected to continue as the feared date is approaching. Managing director of WWPKG CN Yuen, while speaking to CNN, noted that concerns over Tatsuki’s prediction have been compounded by recent advisories from the Chinese embassy in Tokyo.

The Chinese embassy had issued a statement in April 2025, warning Chinese nationals in Japan to remain vigilant against potential natural disasters. This advisory has further aggravated fear among travellers.
