Originally a
salaryman working for a car company, Asagiri had been thinking about becoming a scenario writer since his second or third year of work, but the company was so busy that he couldn't write stories while working. He quit the car company at the beginning of 2012. After that, while preparing for job hunting related to screenplays, Asagiri decided to create something that people could watch for free. He started posting videos saying "I wanted to," along with creating videos serving as business cards, believing in the importance of work experience for becoming a professional.
Yukkuri Youmu and the Really Scary Cthulhu Myth was later made into a manga called
Minase Youmu and the Really Scary Cthulhu Myth, with Asagiri in charge of the original work. For
Bungo Stray Dogs, Asagiri was inspired by
Shūsaku Endō's story
Ryūgaku as well as
Osamu Dazai's last novel
No Longer Human. Asagiri decided to make his own take on Osamu Dazai stand out among the readers.
Kadokawa Shoten approached Asagiri with writing more content for the characters, which led to the production of
light novels where the writer decided to explore Dazai's past. == Hobbies ==
