Baku Nagai (永井博, ながい ばく Nagai Baku, born March 10, 1941 in Shanghai, China), better known by the pen name Yasutaka Nagai (永井 泰宇, ながい やすたか, Nagai Yasutaka), is a Chinese-born Japanese novelist, manga author and scenario writer. He is one of the four brothers of manga artist Go Nagai.

In 1969 he was a candidate for the Edogawa Rampo Award for his novel Baptism of Blood (鮮血のバプテスマ), being Seiichi Morimura the winner of that year,[1] but he abandoned his activities as a writer, for a time, with the establishment of Dynamic Production. He would re-debut as a writer in 1981 with Shin Devilman (not to be confused with the manga of similar name with which he also collaborated).

He has also worked with his brother and Ken Ishikawa in several manga such as Maboroshi Panty, Haru Ichiban and Shinrei Tantei Occult Dan, among others.
