Toru Toba is a light novel author whose works are published by GA Bunko. He discovered the light novel industry in middle school and began submitting his works in high school. Despite repeated rejections, he continued to submit his work, winning the First Half Encouragement Award at the first GA Bunko Grand Prize in 2008 for his work "Orcinus." He then made his debut with "Orcinus: Inakuchi Migen's Mediation Life," a work based on the original "Orcinus" title.

Participating in a Management Simulation Play Report
そうだ，選挙しよう。Switch版「トロピコ 6」発売記念，山本一郎氏＆ラノベ作家・鳥羽 徹氏と共に挑む，実録・トロピコ島大選挙 https://t.co/HDeMNl7KTX @4GamerNewsより プレジデンテ鳥羽！！ #天才王子の赤字国家再生術

Perhaps due to his work on other titles that focus on national management, Toba participated as a monitor for "Tropico 6 Nintendo Switch Edition" in a 4Gamers project. Toba had apparently never played this type of game before, and he played with a 4Gamers advisor. As a beginner, he used a proper playstyle, but realized that it would quickly lead to a deadlock. With the advice of a corrupt 4Gamers political advisor, he decided to utilize election fraud and assassinations to progress through the game. Sacrificing the people is meaningless if you can't win the election. The people exist for politics! This game lets you become a shitty dictator, but the residents are also trash, so if you pamper them, they'll become arrogant, making it an unpleasantly realistic game.
Introducing works by Toru Toba!
Orcinus: Inakuchi Miyuki's Life as a Mediator
Inakuchi Miyuki, who has been assigned as a mediator to Orcinus, an island inhabited by mythical beasts, is tasked with mediating disputes between the mythical beasts, the orcas. However, the orcas he encounters are all unique and strange, and his senior mediator, Ichiri Akinaga, has also disappeared. This negotiation comedy follows the protagonist as he negotiates with the quirky Orcas. Winner of the Encouragement Award at the 1st GA Bunko Awards.
Boy Meets Heart!
In Sando City, where many psychics live, it's common for those with different psychic abilities to compete in various events. In this city, Seiji, who has the ability to control sound, has an unusual hobby: listening to other people's heartbeats. One day, Seiji reunites with his childhood friend, Sagiri, but his impression of her has changed dramatically. Seiji sets out to bring back the Sagiri he once knew...
Dreadnought of the Phantom Burial Myth
Shio Mirei and Hiwa Mirei enrolled in a training school for combat magicians, who fight mythical beasts with wisdom and magic. Soon after enrolling, they came out as a married couple and caused a stir by boasting about their relationship. However, when they easily defeated a legendary mythical beast, the public's view of them began to change dramatically. Their goal was to completely destroy the seven mythical mythical beasts that once ravaged the earth.

I'm in charge of the design for Vtuber Misono Yui, who is affiliated with Irodori Geino Yubinsha, a company operated by Bushiroad. Misono Yui appears to stream ASMR and other content. She also streamed for Doki Doki Literature Club Plus. Doki Doki Literature Club is a deeply moving work, so I recommend playing it without a second thought.
Falmaro is a fan of FGO and Madoka Magica

Falmaro also posts illustrations on pixiv and Twitter, with a large number of FGO and Madoka Magica illustrations. Falmaro seems to be a big fan of FGO and Madoka Magica. He especially likes Mysterious Heroine X, so she seems to be his favorite.

I'm the illustrator for Mizuki Rui, a character from the social game "Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story," distributed by f4samurai. He posts a lot on pixiv, and I'm not sure if his love of the work led to the job, but perhaps his wish has come true.
He also loves horses!?

Recently, he's been retweeting a lot of Uma Musume Pretty Derby-related content. He narrowly lost the Leo Cup and Virgo Cup, but apparently he won the previous ones... I think he's a serious player. He's also posted illustrations of Teio and Duska. Horses these days are just too strong.
