Biography

edit

Makoto Fukami was born in Kumamoto Prefecture on August 5, 1977.[1] In 1999, Fukami created the manga Wild Diamond, which won the Famitsu Entertainment Award [ja] for manga in that year.[1] In 2005, he launched his first major novel series, Young Gun Carnaval.[2] In 2012, he started working as a screenwriter for various anime series with Psycho-Pass.[3]

In 2013, the manga series The Torture Club received a live action film adaptation.[4] Later that year, in the Newtype anime awards, Psycho-Pass was voted as fourth best title of the year.[5] In 2014, the series was nominated for the Seiun Award.[6] In 2015, Ōsama-tachi no Viking was nominated for the Manga Taishō.[7] Later that year, Psycho-Pass: The Movie won the award for best film at the Newtype anime awards.[8] For the movie, Fukami wanted the action scenes to be depicted as appealingly as possible.[9] Fellow co-writer Gen Urobuchi praised Fukami's work in the movie as it helped to balance the script he originally wrote as well as give the casting enjoyable interactions.[10] In 2019, Fukami once again worked in the franchise with Psycho-Pass 3. Lead writer Tow Ubukata wanted the two main characters to be written solely by Fukami. Fukami was surprised with the ongoing dynamic between Shiotani and Ubukata as despite the new story sharing a new cast, the series still felt like Psycho-Pass.[11]

Psycho-Pass: The Movie was also nominated for the Seiun Award for best media and the Sugoi Japan Award for best animation.[12][13] In 2019, Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka received an anime television series adaptation.[14]
