As a fledgling writer, he wrote proposal documents for the film company Toho. However, it was his involvement in structuring the movie "GAME KING: Takahashi Meijin vs. Mori Meijin - Clash!

Currently, he is not only active in writing but also works as the president of GTV, engaging in creative activities across all digital media. Additionally, he has recently collaborated with Niwango to write and develop serialized electronic novels where readers receive the continuation of the story by replying to emails. He also served as the manager of KOBO CAFE at Kodansha BOX.
