Biography
He graduated from Waseda University Second Faculty of Literature (早稲田大学第二文学部)[1]. In early years, he studied under the famous screenwriter Narito Kaneko (金子 成人). Initially working in TV Asah for planning work, later, under the recommendation of the producer Akira Koseki (小関 明), he got involved in the screenwriting of the tokusatsu Choujinki Metalder (超人機メタルダー)[2], he was responsible for the screenplay of the 11th and the 27th episodes. After that, he joined KANOX (株式会社カノックス), a company led by Mitsuhiko Kuze (久世 光彦), and while working on one-hour dramas and nine monthly dramas, he also worked on many genres such as special programmes for children and detective dramas.
By looking at the genealogy, Ogizawa is the grandchild of the renowned screenwriter, So Kuramoto (山谷 馨). As time went by, along with his hard-working efforts, he became a lecturer at Writers' Guild of Japan (日本脚本家連盟)[3], and he also got involved in the "screenplay writer training course" run by TMS Entertainment. Ogizawa has been dedicated to the specialisation of the "Metal Hero series" for many years. He also met another highly productive Detective Conan anime script writer, Junichi Miyashita while he was involved in the production of these TV dramas[4]. However, after the last work, Moero!! Robocon (燃えろ!!ロボコン) in 2000, Ogizawa mainly focused on anime and two-hour dramas afterwards. In 2018, Ogizawa published his novel Did You Stop By? (寄ってたかって), just in the same period as Miyashita, and was also published by Shinnami Publishing[5][6].
Style analysis
In the overall view, Ogizawa's scripts written in the Detective Conan anime have a variety of styles, in terms of the schools of deduction: Honkaku deduction (本格派推理); Shinhonkaku deduction (新本格派推理); Shakai deduction (社会派推理); and even comedy light deduction (バカミステリー). Incidentally, he also had written a case with Anti-Mystery (アンチ・ミステリー), Rondo in Bad Company, which is quite an unpopular school. Unlike other Detective Conan screenwriters, the quality of his TV original scripts varies a lot, some can be exceedingly outstanding, some can be mediocre, and some can even break the bottom line of the TV original cases' quality.
The scripts he wrote for the Detective Conan anime mainly focus on alibis and testimonies, which is quite traditional. But he sometimes also writes nonsensical comedy stories, such as his first work in the anime The Man Who Was Killed Four Times, as well as The Secret of the High Sales. Most of his cases reveal tragedy, corruption, and household ethics. Ogizawa's forte is depicting the emotions within some of the characters and stimulating a sorrowful atmosphere, which manifests a tragedy story. Most of his cases, such as Sweetheart is an Illusion of Spring, The Man Obstructed by the Steel Frame, and The Vanished Policeman don't contain ingenious deductions or rigorous logics, but all focus on the tragic stories behind the case. Furthermore, he is also good at narrating a story; therefore, his scripts usually have frivolous deductions.
Meanwhile, Ogizawa is also a big fan of mystery, judging by the scripts written in Detective Conan. A lot of his scripts contain numerous tributes to those renowned mystery works and authors. For example, the titles of The Man Who Was Killed Four Times (四回殺された男) from 2000 and The Man Who Died Twice (二度死んだ男) from 2016 all paid homage to a novel written by Yasuhiko Nishizawa (西澤 保彦), The Man Who Died Seven Times (七回死んだ男). Furthermore, his work The Secret of the High Sales possesses a strong element of Red-Headed League, which is a Sherlock Holmes short story by Conan Doyle. Moreover, in another case, he wrote And It'd Be Nice if Everybody Disappeared (そして誰もいなくなればいい), which its title was in fact a tribute to the Japanese title of Agatha Christie's novel And Then There Were None (そして誰もいなくなった). After that, he also wrote The Shifting Mystery of Beika City, which its core logic is referenced in Agatha Christie's The A.B.C. Murders, as well as Ellery Queen's The Tragedy of X. In 2021, Ogizawa once again wrote a case that he even named the supporting characters after famous Japanese novelists, he also referenced many more mystery novels, the details can be seen at The Novelist Known as the Demon King. This shows that Ogizawa truly loves mystery novels from the bottom of his heart.
