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

Miyashita graduated from Yokohama Broadcasting Technical School (横浜放送映画専門学院), 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. 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).

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), 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, until the last work Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack (テツワン探偵ロボタック) in 1999.

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. Miyashita got married in 2002, and started teaching screenwriting at Tokyo Artist University (東京作家大学), which was established in 2015. He also created several webinars, such as Try to create reasoning techniques.[1]

Miyashita joined the production of the Detective Conan anime ever since 1996. He served as the screenwriter for manga episodes initially, and only began writing anime original episodes from episode 17 onwards. He is currently ranked as the screenwriter with the second highest anime original episodes written. In which the styles within his scripts vary a lot. There are orthodox Honkaku, adventure deduction, Shakai mystery, etc. Namely, his style is more traditional, writing abduction cases is his preference, which is influenced by his early work as a screenwriter for criminal TV dramas.
