Kurotowa
Legend
Rather unlikely, given the first book of that series didn't come out until 1988.2e took a lot from 1e, which in turn was inspired by (I think) the Vlad Taltos series by Steven Brust.
D&D psionics comes out of the plethora of psychic powered protagonists from golden age Science Fiction. John W Campbell helped shape so much of that era, and he had a personal fixation of psionic ability as the next stage of human evolution, so he pushed a lot of his authors in that direction. Books like Slan by A.E. van Vogt, the Baldie stories by Henry Kuttner, and many more showcased psionic powers at work. It even showed up in a lot of Science Fantasy stories, where the "magic" turned out to be psionic powers focused through superstitious rituals.
It's no surprise that early D&D, with so much pulp era influence, included psionic talents. And then it got carried forward as a tradition through multiple editions, mutating and being reworked every time. That's why there's no one answer about what D&D psionics is like. The question only begs another question, of which edition.
