Biography
After graduating from a private university, I worked as a salaried employee for a year and a half.
Originally, he wrote adult manga under the name Makura Maina, mainly for magazines published by Shobunkan. In 1990 , she debuted with Tengai-kun's Magnificent Troubles in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump. In 1991 , he serialized the same work. After that, he transitioned to being a writer.
In 1993 , he collaborated with Takeshi Okano on the hit series Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube. It has been adapted into two anime television series, one that began in 1996 and one that began in 2025, and had even created an image for the opening sequence before the anime project was announced. He also designed the title logo for "Nube" with an anime-like feel in mind .
After that, he collaborated with newcomer manga artist Haruhi Kato, but without much success, so he moved his activities to seinen magazines. In 2008 , he collaborated with Kato again on Boyoyon☆Pandaruman, which was released as part of Shueisha's new children's book series, Wakuwaku Kids Book.
