Biography
He graduated from Gakushuin University (学習院大学). While he was working for a Western liquor company and an editorial department for police magazines, he was also attending the novel course taught by Eisuke Kaito (海渡 英祐). In 1997, by virtue of Another Ghost (三人目の幽霊), he won the fourth session of the Sougen Mystery Short Award. In the same year, his work The Egyptians Came (エジプト人がやってきた) was selected by Tetsuya Ayukawa's edited anthology Honkaku Mystery 10. Later, he won the Novel Mystery Newcomer Award due to his work Tools & Stalls (ツール&ストール), under his penname Natsuki Tsuburaya (圆谷 夏树) back then.
Okura is also a fan of monsters and tokusatsus (his remark on Twitter profile: "I like monsters more than three times a meal"); therefore, he wrote the script for the 7th episode of Ultraman Max. Incidentally, one of his released works named Looking for the Phantom Monster in the Lawless Zone (無法地帯 幻の？を捜せ) contains these elements as the main theme. Meanwhile, he also does some translation work; for example, he translated and novelized the American TV drama Columbo. In addition, his representative work is Osamu Shirato Case Files (白戸修の事件簿); which was supposedly influenced by his early experience as an editor for police magazines.
In 2016, Okura joined the Detective Conan production team, under the recommendation of Gosho Aoyama, who saw one of Okura's works, Greetings from Lieutenant Fukuie (福家警部補の挨拶). He is now in charge of some Detective Conan movie scripts.
