Yosuke Kuroda signed the script for the radio drama Piece of Heart for 'To Heart.'
Early game scripts and branch design
In an interview published in 2024, Yosuke Kuroda recalled that he first took on Famicom game scripts for the "Shadow Brain" project, which lacked a scriptwriter. Later, when writing for the PC adventure game 'Aa Ah-jyo Megami Sama', he was able to organize the plot by branches and rules, and his manuscript passed the review of the original author Fujishima.
Map and numerical investigation in the strategy guide
When writing early guidebooks, Kuroda would photograph maps screen by screen, crop them together, assemble them into large images, and send them to the photography studio. Facing games without official specifications, he recorded and accumulated smaller attack damage to estimate enemy HP, repeating the battle about three times to reduce errors.
Actor proposals and revisions in radio dramas
When producing the radio drama related to "Onegai☆Teach," Kuroda accepted the actors' ideas and wrote proposals into scripts. He recalled that after receiving Tomokazu Sugita's script, he only made technical corrections to parts of the voice that were difficult to hear, while the rest was largely preserved before airing.
The transition from script to storyboard
Kuroda once followed Masunari's request by turning part of the script into storyboards, checking whether the next shot could connect, and learning to write text that could be realized by storyboarding. He also learned from the performers that a single shot should carry more than two meanings, so the scene doesn't only express a single content.
Pre-coordination of model tool description
While writing the TV anime 'Gundam Build Fighters,' Kuroda repeatedly confirmed with major sponsors whether the model blades could appear and whether they were drawn from partner companies or other companies. This pre-coordination took more than a month; Specific products and appearance requirements must be handled separately by episode number.
Division of responsibilities among OVA co-writers
In an interview published in 2024, Kuroda reflected on the OVA "HELLSING," noting that he and Kurata complement each other's preferences for the number of episodes they want to write. The love content the other person doesn't want to write about is exactly the part they like, so their division of labor rarely leads to disputes.
