Light novel author and screenwriter. In 2015, he won the Excellence Award at the 10th Shogakukan Light Novel Awards and made his debut with “Weak Character Tomozaki-kun.” The work was adapted into a TV anime and received high praise, becoming a series. He has established himself as a light novel author. While continuing to write novels, she has also expanded her activities into the field of anime scriptwriting.

[Comment] Hi, I’m Yaku, the scriptwriter. This time, it’s an AR drama. As an otaku, I’m excited to hear that we can enjoy the story while projecting the four members of JELEE into the real world of Shibuya. Well, to me, the members of JELEE are real and live in this world. The girls I met in Shibuya projected the real onto a virtual jellyfish icon in order to express their true selves. In that sense, AR, as a medium, could be said to be the opposite of what they did, projecting the virtual onto the real. That’s why AR should be the perfect stage to relive their struggles and brilliance. Come see for yourself their real existence in Shibuya, where reverse projections intersect. Stage event will be held at Shibuya Music Festival on Sunday, October 19th!
