Junichi Miyashita (宮下 隼一 Miyashita Junichi?), born August 12, 1956[1], is a Japanese screenplay writer from Tokyo. He has worked on tokusatsu dramas in the past but now focuses on detective dramas.

Biography

Miyashita graduated from Yokohama Broadcasting Technical School (横浜放送映画専門学院)[1], presently known as Japan Institute of the Moving Image. He used to be classmates with Nobuaki Kishima and Yasushi Hirano, who are also screenwriters. Miyashita's first intention was to be a director, therefore, he worked as an assistant director for TV movies, but after writing scripts for Ishihara Promotion (石原プロモーション), he took this opportunity and studied under the Japanese screenwriter, Shuichi Nagahara. After that, he debuted in the 7th episode of the Japanese TV series Seibu Keisatsu (西部警察) in 1979[1][2][3]. Not long afterwards, under the recommendation of the producer from the TV Asahi, he participated in the screenplay writing of some of the episodes of the second part of the TV series, Tokusō Saizensen (特捜最前線)[2]. Later on, the producer of Tokusō Saizensen, Seiji Abe introduced Miyashita to Nagafumi Hori, who was one of the producers of the series Kamen Rider Black (仮面ライダーBLACK)[2], as a result, Miyashita became the screenwriter for a Tokusatsu for the first time. From 1990 onwards, he began to serve as the screenwriter for the "Metal Hero series". For example, he was the main screenwriter for Special Rescue Police Winspector (特警ウインスペクター), Special Rescue Exceedraft (特捜エクシードラフト), and B-Fighter Kabuto (ビーファイターカブト). He held this position for entirely five years[1], until the last work Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack (テツワン探偵ロボタック) in 1999[3].

In 1984, Miyashita served as the screenwriter of the second season of the anime series Cat's Eye (キャッツ・アイ). Because of this anime, he later on participated frequently in those works that were produced by TMS Entertainment. This brought him to become one of the veteran screenwriters in Detective Conan anime. Meanwhile, Miyashita also participated in the flagship company established by Noboru Sugimura and others, in which he attempted to create some game scenarios as well[3]. Miyashita got married in 2002[4], and started teaching screenwriting at Tokyo Artist University (東京作家大学), which was established in 2015[1]. He also created several webinars, such as Try to create reasoning techniques[5]. In 2018, he published his first novel, named Where the Starving Heart Goes. (餓える心臓の往くところ。), by Shinnami Publishing[6][7].

Style analysis

Tamanosuke Ito.

As a veteran staff in Detective Conan who has joined the production ever since 1996, Miyashita's styles within his scripts do vary a lot. One can find orthodox Honkaku Detective Fiction, adventure deductions, Social Detective Fiction etc. Additionally, Miyashita loves writing abduction cases, which is influenced by his early work as a screenwriter for criminal TV dramas. All his works are more inclined towards the traditional style and do not contain complicated tricks, but instead mostly contain character enrichment and story devising. Another aspect of his intense personal style of writing is that he tends to mingle adventure elements into a deduction story. An example would be The Traveling Drama Troupe Murder Case in terms of the complexity of different theme elements. Due to his main focus being the plot and adventure, tricks and deductions are usually a neglection in his scripts. Incidentally, Miyashita sometimes also fancies making a certain character the centre and extending them to make character-centreed stories; he had done this with the Detective Boys, Ran Mouri, Kogoro Mouri, and Conan Edogawa already. Also, a character created by him, named Tamanosuke Ito, is very memorable and popular among the Detective Conan fandom as well.

Despite the numerous peculiar styles he wrote within his works, his compositions can still be divided into three parts:

Scenarios written

Number of case scenarios written: 56 (76 episodes)

Scenarios adapted from the manga

Number of cases adapted from the manga: 6 (7 episodes)

Magic Kaito: Kid the Phantom Thief TV Specials adapted

Number of cases adapted: 7 (7 episodes)

Note: Also credited as series organizer

Games and Specials

Number of Game scripts written: 1

Number of Specials written: 4
