He made his debut with that novel when it was published in 2006 as a tankōbon. The same year, he published his second light novel Slash/Dog. Two years later, in 2008, he began publishing the light-novel series High School DxD, with 25 volumes published as well as an additional 4 volumes of a sequel series, Shin High School DxD. The series has been adapted into multiple manga and anime television series. While preparing the light novels, his father died.[1]
