, part of the Super Sentai franchise. He has also written extensively within the Kamen Rider franchise, penning nearly every episode of Kamen Rider Agito, Kamen Rider 555, and Kamen Rider Kiva. During the production change of Kamen Rider Hibiki, Inoue was brought on as the head writer from episode 30 onwards, and wrote the series' film, Kamen Rider Hibiki And The 7 Senki. Inoue is also responsible for writing most of the Kamen Rider films within the 2000s, including the reboot films Kamen Rider The First and Kamen Rider The Next. In 2022, he was brought on as head writer for Avataro Sentai Donbrothers.
