With other works, which were published in the magazine Bungei Kurabu (文 芸 倶 楽 部), he established himself as a novelist.

In subsequent years, Izumi became a popular author of SF and grotesque tales. His birthplace is a museum dedicated to him Kanazawa and donated the Izumi Kyoka - Literature Prize, which was awarded for the first time on the occasion of his 100th birthday in 1973.
