Biography

[edit]

Early life and education

[edit]

Erika Yoshida, a native of Kanagawa Prefecture, was born on 21 November 1987.[1] She graduated from both Nihon University Senior & Junior High School [ja] and the Nihon University College of Art (Nichigei)'s Department of Literature.[2]

Yoshida originally planned to be a mangaka while in junior high school, and with that aspiration in mind even chose a school with an arts department, but eventually decided against it.[3] Her next aspiration was to become a novelist,[4] and she picked Nichigei's Department of Literature to receive guidance on that career path.[5] During her student years, she learned that Masafumi Nishida [ja] was looking for an assistant, and began her career as a screenwriter under that position.[4]

Screenwriting career

[edit]

Yoshida wrote the screenplay for Koisuru Eve  [ja], an NTV drama special which aired on Christmas Eve 2013;[6] this was her debut as a drama screenwriter.[7] She subsequently wrote screenplays for several dramas, namely Dansui!  [ja] (2017), Boys Over Flowers Season 2 (2017), Heaven?  [ja] (2019), Dasada (2020), Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! (2020), and Koeharu! (2021).[8]

Yoshida was writer for the 2022 drama Koisenu Futari,[9] for which she won the 40th Kuniko Mukōda Award [ja].[10][11] She wrote the screenplays for Double and I Will Be Your Bloom, which both aired that same year,[8] and she was screenwriter for the 2023 NHK special drama Menstrual Uncle and His Daughter  [ja].[12] She served as screenwriter for the 2024 asadora drama The Tiger and Her Wings,[12] as well as its 2026 special drama spinoff Yamada Todoroki Hōritsu Jimusho.[13] In September 2026, it was announced that she would be the screenwriter for Amazon Prime Video's live-action adaptation of The Apothecary Diaries.[14]

Yoshida's first anime work was in the 2011 television series Tiger & Bunny.[3] She subsequently was the head writer for Trickster (2016), Namu Amida Butsu! Rendai Utena  [ja] (2019), and the first season of Tower of God (2020).[15][16][17] She later became the 2022 anime adaptation for the manga Bocchi the Rock!; she won the 9th Anime Trending Anime of the Year Award for Best in Adapted Screenplay for her work on the anime.[18][19] She later returned to work for Tower of God as the second season's series composition writer, a position she later held for the 2025 anime Maebashi Witches;[20][21] Reiichi Naruma of Real Sound called the latter an example of a growing trend of drama screenwriters providing series composition for original anime.[22]

Yoshida is also a film screenwriter, with her work including No Longer Heroine (2015), Love and Lies (2017), Leon  [ja] (2018), Even: Song for You  [ja] (2018), Sensei Kunshu (2018), Oz Land  [ja] (2018), xxxHolic (2022), and Otonanajimi (2023).[8]

Novels, manga, and other works

[edit]

Yoshida is also a novelist, with such work originally written for teenage audiences.[23] She wrote a novelization of Reruriri [ja]'s Vocaloid song "Noushou Sakuretsu Girl [ja]";[24] she had landed the job after having a class where Hatsune Miku was discussed.[5] She was also the writer for the song's film and manga adaptations.[8][25] Her novels also include adaptations of the NHK drama Jikken Kenji Totori  [ja] and of Koisenu Futari.[26][27] Following her writing of the Koisenu Futari novelization, she has announced plans to write another novel.[4]

In May 2020, she wrote Okaeri, a one-shot romance manga in Weekly Young Jump illustrated by Masakazu Katsura.[28] She also wrote both Tiger & Bunny: The Comic and Tiger & Bunny 2: The Comic.[29]

Yoshida served as a guest judge at the 75th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen in December 2024.[30] In 2025, she received a Kanagawa Cultural Award for the Future [ja] for her work in novels and screenwriting,[31] as well as the 19th Nichigei Prize.[32]

Themes and personal life

[edit]

According to Naruma, Yoshida is "skilled at weaving social themes into her stories".[22] In an interview, Yoshida said that she was approached by NHK to work on Koisenu Futari, which is about an aromantic/asexual couple, after depicting a similar character in the Cherry Magic! drama.[27] When asked about whether she finds novels or screenplays an easier medium to write on, she replied: "Neither comes easily (laughs). I love writing stories, but I struggle and agonize over both forms."[4] She cites Kuniko Mukōda and Hiromi Kawakami as inspirations, and cites Yoshikazu Okada [ja], Yuji Sakamoto, and Aya Watanabe [ja] as screenwriters she admires.[33]

Yoshida has been affiliated with Queen-B since she was in university.[5] She has a Japanese language teacher's license.[1] She has a son who was born in 2019 or 2020.[34]
