Mr. Ubukata refuses to say which year he is born in (on his website), except that he was born on the 14th of February, in Gifu prefecture. He is a heavy smoker and aims to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Some of his written works include Mardock Scramble, Bye Bye Earth, Madoromi no Sefiroto (The Sleeping Sephiroth), Storm Bring World and his debut book, Kuroi Kisetsu (The Black Season).

Hoping to become a novelist, he took part in the Kadokawa Bookstore Sneaker competition after graduating from high school, and won. After that, he enrolled in Waseda University, and then entered the world of game production. He also fulfilled his dream of making manga, by teaming up with illustrator Mami Itou. At this time, he was already planning "Mardock Scramble". He also published the ultra-thick novel "Bye Bye, Earth" before leaving the university without completing his degree.
