Some of his books, for example, "A weirdo from that forest (Shukumavelkha na-chinokko)" and "A life with people (Shingo velkhamurdum)", are widely popular worldwide even nowadays.

All of his book were written in the Crootch language; many of them were translated in different languages. The principal themes of his book are freedom and extraordinary people in the human society; respectation towards the nature.

Rokkunazo has never married and never had any children.

Childhood
The writer was born in the Crootchistani village of Chunkhlutta. His parents were ordinary farmers – not very rich, however not poor either. Helping his parents with the household, the young Shoka learnt how to work hard since his youth; he also learnt that labor is the basic of any achievment and without labor it is absolutely impossible to achieve anything.

The local school could not give him an acceptable education; for the whole life Rokkunazo has been being sure that his father tought him much more than the school. He was a very impressionable and rather capable kid – he learnt to read and write in age of 5, however he did not like books in that age very much. His favourite thing to do was creating fantasy worlds in his head – any time he came up with a new idea, he told about it his best friend (since Shoka was rather an extraordinary kid, he did not have many friends as kids usually do), who seemed to be alone responsive person towards him in the world.
