Izuru Yumizuru is best known for writing the Infinite Stratos light novel series, which he started while unemployed and hospitalized at Tokyo University Hospital. His name reflects his parents' artistic backgrounds—his father was a shamisen player and his mother practiced ikebana, both professions that influenced his given names.
Before Infinite Stratos took off, he wrote scenarios for several visual novels published by Alicesoft in the early-to-mid 2000s, including Tsumamigui 2, Shimaima, Yokubari Saboten, and Double Sensei Life.
He's dealt with chronic health issues throughout his life, spending time in and out of hospitals. At one point he underwent epidural treatment to prevent paralysis, which gives some context to where Infinite Stratos came from—he was literally writing his way through difficult circumstances.
