Uchūjin

Fancyclopedia 3 identifies this zine as the first Japanese science fiction fanzine beginning in 1957. This international edition claims to be the “the first English-edited fanzine in Japan,” and gives an English translation of the zine’s title as “Cosmic Dusts.” Unlike most American zines, which heavily feature correspondence between fans, this zine focuses on fiction writing, with the international edition being translated into English.
