| + | As a veteran staff in ''Detective Conan'' who has joined the production since its genesis in 1996, Miyashita's styles within his scripts vary a lot. One can find orthodox Honkaku deductions, adventure deductions, social Shakai deductions, among others. Additionally, '''Miyashita loves writing abduction cases''', which is influenced by his early work as a screenwriter for criminal TV dramas. All his works are more inclined towards the traditional style and do not contain complicated tricks, but instead mostly contain character enrichment and story devising. Another aspect of his personal style of writing is that he tends to mingle adventure elements into a deduction story. An example would be [[The Traveling Drama Troupe Murder Case]] in terms of the complexity of different theme elements. Due to his main focus being the plot and adventure, tricks and deductions are usually neglected in his scripts. Incidentally, Miyashita sometimes also fancies making a certain character the centre and extending them to make character-centered stories; he had done this with the [[Detective Boys]], [[Ran Mouri]], [[Kogoro Mouri]], and [[Conan Edogawa]] already. Also, a character created by him, named [[Tamanosuke Ito]], is very memorable and popular among the ''Detective Conan'' fandom as well. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Despite the wide array of styles used in his works, the timeline of his compositions can still be divided into three parts: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * The first part is from 1996 to 2001, when he was still experimenting different styles. His first TV original script, written in ''Detective Conan'', [[Hijacked Department Store Case]], was already featuring elements pertaining to "abduction" and "blackmailing". Moreover, [[Alibi Testimony Murder Case]] was an attempt at traditional alibi-breaking. Furthermore, [[General Hospital Murder Case]] and [[Scoop Picture Murder Case]] contained some science tricks. In addition, he even paid tribute to the novel ''[[wikipedia:And Then There Were None|And Then There Were None]]'' by [[Agatha Christie]] in his work [[The Disappearing Detective Boys Case]]. Besides, he also wrote a case with Shakai deduction <small>({{lang|ja|社会派推理}})</small>, being [[The Tenth Passenger]]. This already indicates the variety of styles Miyashita wrote during this early period. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * The second part is from 2002 to 2013, when he was responsible for several [[Mystery Tour (series)|mystery tour]] cases, such as [[Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour]], [[Stork Mystery Tour]], [[The Seven Wonders of the Hiroshima Miyajima Tour]], and [[Nagasaki Mystery Theatre]]. Most of them contained cyphers and abductions. In 2005 and 2006, he decided to continue the "Travelling Drama Troupe" series and wrote two sequels to it: [[The Simultaneous Stage Advance and Kidnapping]] and [[The Phantom of the Konpira]] (1 Hour Special). | ||
| + | |||
| + | * The third part is from 2014 to present, when he ceased holding responsibility for the writing of mystery tours. He nevertheless still continued with his "passion" for abducting characters like Ran Mouri and Conan Edogawa. [[Conan Cornered in the Darkness]], [[Conan Disappeared on the Cliff]], and [[Conan Kidnapped]] were the three attempts at kidnapping Conan. He also wrote a series of episodes related to Kogoro Mouri only, enriching Kogoro's image, including [[The Framed Great Detective]], [[The Manipulated Great Detective]], [[Bodyguard Kogoro Mouri]], [[The Great Detective's Weakness]], and [[Kogoro Mouri's Grand Lecture]] (the second filler with the length of three episodes). At a certain point, it may get quite repetitive, as most of the styles in these works are only related to kidnapping, adventure, and criminal pursuit; deduction was reduced to merely a tool for progressing the plot. | ||

Junichi Miyashita (宮下 隼一 Miyashita Jun'ichi), born August 12, 1956[1], is a Japanese screenplay writer from Tokyo. After graduating from university, Miyashita started a career as assistant director, but later specialized in scriptwriting, starting in the 1970s in police TV dramas, and later shifting to Tokusatsu. He first started scriptwriting for anime series in 1984, and was a writer for Detective Conan as early as the series' inception in 1996. Having written more than fifty scripts for the series, he is one of its more prolific writers, and is known for creating cases focusing on kidnappings and character development, being however less creative with tricks. Since the late 2010s, he has been less involved in the series, but has provided significant contributions, including to the compilation movies released before big screen releases of the annual movies.

Biography
Junichi Miyashita graduated from Yokohama Broadcasting Technical School (横浜放送映画専門学院)[1], currently known as Japan Institute of the Moving Image, where he was classmates with Nobuaki Kishima (岸間 信明) and Yasushi Hirano (平野 靖士), 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 (永原 秀一). After that, he debuted in the 7th episode of the Japanese TV series Seibu Keisatsu (西部警察) in 1979[1][2][3]. Not long afterwards, under the recommendation of the producer from 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)[2]. Later on, the producer of Tokusō Saizensen, Seiji Abe (阿部 征司) introduced Miyashita to Nagafumi Hori (堀 長文), who was one of the producers of the series Kamen Rider Black (仮面ライダーBLACK)[2]. As a result, Miyashita became the screenwriter for a Tokusatsu for the first time. From 1990 onwards, he served as the screenwriter for the "Metal Hero series". He was notably 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 five years[1], until Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack (テツワン探偵ロボタック) in 1999[3].
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 made him become one of the veteran screenwriters in the 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[3]. Miyashita married in 2002[4], and started teaching screenwriting at Tokyo Artist University (東京作家大学)[1]. He also created several webinars, such as Try to create reasoning techniques[5]. In 2018, he published his first novel, named Where the Starving Heart Goes. (餓える心臓の往くところ。), released by Shinnami Publishing[6][7].
Style analysis
As a veteran staff in Detective Conan who has joined the production since its genesis in 1996, Miyashita's styles within his scripts vary a lot. One can find orthodox Honkaku deductions, adventure deductions, social Shakai deductions, among others. Additionally, Miyashita loves writing abduction cases, which is influenced by his early work as a screenwriter for criminal TV dramas. All his works are more inclined towards the traditional style and do not contain complicated tricks, but instead mostly contain character enrichment and story devising. Another aspect of his personal style of writing is that he tends to mingle adventure elements into a deduction story. An example would be The Traveling Drama Troupe Murder Case in terms of the complexity of different theme elements. Due to his main focus being the plot and adventure, tricks and deductions are usually neglected in his scripts. Incidentally, Miyashita sometimes also fancies making a certain character the centre and extending them to make character-centered stories; he had done this with the Detective Boys, Ran Mouri, Kogoro Mouri, and Conan Edogawa already. Also, a character created by him, named Tamanosuke Ito, is very memorable and popular among the Detective Conan fandom as well.
Despite the wide array of styles used in his works, the timeline of his compositions can still be divided into three parts:
- The first part is from 1996 to 2001, when he was still experimenting different styles. His first TV original script, written in Detective Conan, Hijacked Department Store Case, was already featuring elements pertaining to "abduction" and "blackmailing". Moreover, Alibi Testimony Murder Case was an attempt at traditional alibi-breaking. Furthermore, General Hospital Murder Case and Scoop Picture Murder Case contained some science tricks. In addition, he even paid tribute to the novel And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie in his work The Disappearing Detective Boys Case. Besides, he also wrote a case with Shakai deduction (社会派推理), being The Tenth Passenger. This already indicates the variety of styles Miyashita wrote during this early period.
- The second part is from 2002 to 2013, when he was responsible for several mystery tour cases, such as Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour, Stork Mystery Tour, The Seven Wonders of the Hiroshima Miyajima Tour, and Nagasaki Mystery Theatre. Most of them contained cyphers and abductions. In 2005 and 2006, he decided to continue the "Travelling Drama Troupe" series and wrote two sequels to it: The Simultaneous Stage Advance and Kidnapping and The Phantom of the Konpira (1 Hour Special).
- The third part is from 2014 to present, when he ceased holding responsibility for the writing of mystery tours. He nevertheless still continued with his "passion" for abducting characters like Ran Mouri and Conan Edogawa. Conan Cornered in the Darkness, Conan Disappeared on the Cliff, and Conan Kidnapped were the three attempts at kidnapping Conan. He also wrote a series of episodes related to Kogoro Mouri only, enriching Kogoro's image, including The Framed Great Detective, The Manipulated Great Detective, Bodyguard Kogoro Mouri, The Great Detective's Weakness, and Kogoro Mouri's Grand Lecture (the second filler with the length of three episodes). At a certain point, it may get quite repetitive, as most of the styles in these works are only related to kidnapping, adventure, and criminal pursuit; deduction was reduced to merely a tool for progressing the plot.
