Japanese novelist. Born in Gifu Prefecture. He debuted by winning the Encouragement Award in the Young Mystery & Horror category at the 5th Kadokawa Campus Novel Awards for "Hyouka."

After graduating from university, he continued writing while working as a bookseller and lived in Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture. His fame grew when "Hyouka" was adapted into an anime in 2012 and gained popularity.
