==Biography==
Konaka is a writer who mainly writes scripts for horror works. His works often have a dark and serious psychological tone. Between 1990 and 2005, he worked as a screenwriter for several Ultraman Series, and in 1998 he served as a series compositor for Ultraman Gaia.
The "Konaka Gamera", a scrapped Gamera script by Chiaki and Kazuya Konaka, became the basis of the Heisei Gamera Trilogy by Shusuke Kaneko, and the Konaka Gamera's concepts were later adopted for Gamera the Brave, Ultraman Tiga, and Digimon Tamers.ASCII MEDIA WORKS, 2014, Heisei Gamera Perfection, p.73, p.75, p.80, p.87, p.159, p.204, p.237, Kadokawa ShotenChiaki J. Konaka, 2018, という事をここに書いているのは、以前にも書いたけれど、テイマーズの1～3話は設定などは全然違うものの、小中兄弟版ガメラのエッセンスが濃厚に入っている。だからもしこの映画が成立していたら、テイマーズは生まれなかったとも言える。, Twitter The Heisei Gamera Trilogy also used ideas from the unmade Ultra Q film by Kaneko and Kazunori Ito, such as that of Juran and Garamon, and the scrapped project later became the basis of Ultra Q The Movie: Legend of the Stars.Anime Hack, 2019, 「ガメラ」脚本家・伊藤和典、幻の金子修介版「ウルトラQ」について明かすMasato Hazawa, 2020, 平成ガメラシリーズ、誕生の秘密に迫る！「特撮のDNA」展開催記念スペシャルトークライブ!!, Dengeki Hobby Magazine According to Keiichi Hasegawa, both Ultraman and Kamen Rider franchises since the Heisei era were largely influenced by the Heisei Gamera Trilogy, where various influential practical knowledge and tokusatsu techniques were invented during the production of the trilogy.
