	Ochi is one of the veteran staff (like [[Kazunari Kouchi]] and [[Junichi Miyashita]]) who have joined the anime production since the series began to broadcast. Although he did not write a lot of cases for the anime, most of his cases are of high quality. He is sometimes referred to as the [[wikipedia:John Dickson Carr\|John Dickson Carr]] of the ''Detective Conan'' screenwriters, because his style is just like Carr's, most consisting of locked-rooms, impossible crimes, ingenious tricks; which is a symbolisation of Shinhonkaku Detective Fiction <small>({{lang\|ja\|新本格派推理}})</small>. He is also good at mingling ghost legends into his stories, and depicting supporting characters - he has created lots of memorable characters to his audience, for example Shingo Nachi, Toshiya Tadokoro, [[Shimogasa Twins]], Touya Aikawa, and [[Otaro Minakitaya]] etc.		Ochi is one of the veteran staff (like [[Kazunari Kouchi]] and [[Junichi Miyashita]]) who have joined the anime production since the series began to broadcast.

	In 1996, he joined the production of the ''Detective Conan'' [[anime]], and served as the storyboard artist and episode director for ~~the 4th episode~~ [[The Coded Map of the City Case]], until ~~the 2nd part of~~ [[The Convenience Store Trap]] in 2003, Ochi temporarily quit the production (during this period, he had also written some screenplays for the anime, they were highly famed among the fandom as well). Starting 2006, he altered his name to Koujin Ochi <small>({{lang\|ja\|於地紘仁}})</small>, and became active again. He returned to the ''Detective Conan'' anime production team in 2008, first he did storyboard for [[Clash of Red and Black\|Clash of Red and Black (Disguise)]]. Since episode 505, [[Masato Sato]] stepped down from the anime director role, so Ochi replaced him as the director until episode 666 also under his alias Koujin Ochi. He was replaced by [[Yasuichiro Yamamoto]] in 2012 starting episode 667 (excluding episodes 678-679, which is [[Mystery Tour (series)\|mystery tour]] episodes and Koujin Ochi is still in charge of them when director change took place).

	After taking over the director role, Ochi first invited the staff who went to work on the [[movies]], during the Masato Sato era, back to the anime production. Art director was altered, and stabilized; the color design was also changed to [[Shigenobu Kaihoko]] and became brighter; [[Masatomo Sudo]] became the anime character design again, working along with [[Junko Yamanaka]]. Ochi did the storyboard for several openings and endings during this time, performing the recovery for the severe alteration in the staff team from the Masato Sato era. Nonetheless, the anime production remain chaotic; outsourcing has made many episodes become unstable and the quality dropped significantly. It is not until 2011 that he first officially introduced the "Animation Supervisor" role for the anime, (the credit used was {{nihongo\|"Chief Animator"\|チーフアニメーター}} and {{nihongo\|"Key Animator"\|キーアニメーター}}); [[Seiji Muta]] was promoted by him for that role.<ref group="Note">'''Note:''' According to the end credits in [[The Scarlet Alibi]] recap movie, Junko Yamanaka worked as animation supervisor, possibly when she also did character design between 2008 and 2010, but she was not credited back then.</ref>		After taking over the director role, Ochi first invited the staff who went to work on the [[movies]], during the Masato Sato era, back to the anime production.
