Ukyō Kodachi
is a Japanese novelist, manga artist, and screenwriter. He started out writing tabletop role-playing games, before debuting as a novelist in 2008 and a screenwriter in 2013. From 2016 to 2020, he worked on the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations manga. Biography
Kodachi grew up as the son of a physician, so he was interested in science from an early age. He started working by creating tabletop role-playing games. In 2008, Kodachi started writing professionally as a novelist with the novel adaptation of Macross Frontier. In 2013, he started working as a screenwriter for various anime series with Neppu Kairiku Bushi Road. Two years later in 2015, he assisted Naruto author Masashi Kishimoto with screenplays for Boruto: Naruto the Movie. This would help him be granted the position of writer for the main series, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, which premiered the next year. He held his position until the release of the 14th volume, when Kishimoto took over. The Boruto manga did very well commercially in Japan, and was the eighth best selling manga from Shueisha in 2017 and 2018. The series also performed well internationally, especially in North America, where the series became the sixth-best-selling serialised manga in 2017. In the fall season of 2018, the series was the fourth best-selling manga in the region. Works
