History Creator / ShinyaMurata

* BleachedUnderpants: Runs the "Japan Onany Network" H-doujin circle with Sato. Matters related to that are kept separate from their professionally published work, but Murata goes by the "JON" username everywhere and the circle's website makes no secret that it's their work.

Debuted with ''Jackals'' for the Gangan POWERED magazine and is known for writing FightingSeries with AnimalMotifs and colorful casts of deranged people in other magazines published by Square Enix.

** ''Franchise/SailorMoon'', of which he made a DarkerAndEdgier fan comic that is available on his Pixiv page. Note how Dinoponera in ''Arachnid'' loves the in-universe ''Sailor-Force'' anime to the point she's actually named Setsuna or how one major character in ''Majo ni Ataeru Tettsui'', Serena, was designed after Queen Serenity.

* ''Kaminaki Sekai no Onee-chan Katsudou'' (2022, written by Akashiro Aoi and storyboarded by Murata)

* ''Hoshi Gari Sugidesho!? Inaba-san'' (2020, ''Killing Bites'' spinoff)

* AnimalTitle: Most of his works, including ''Choubu no Shinobi'', which has "Lepidoptera" as a subtitle, and ''Himenospia'', which is partly a pun on "Hymenoptera".

* ''Manga/{{Konchuki}}'' (2020-2022)

** Has [[https://twitter.com/jojojon/status/1216780675153420289 acknowledged that]] he starts nearly every manga with ''ryona'', introducing the female protagonists with threats of either rape or sexualized torture of some sort. On the other hand, the [[AllWomenAreDomsAllMenAreSubs femdom fetish]] is also very prevalent is most of his works, along with master-servant relationships -- with fits right into the bug motifs as many of them have dominant females. It's what ''Himenospia'' is all about. Also, another noticeable thing is that in ''Arachnid'', ''Caterpillar'' and ''Himenospia'', when a female antagonist appears wearing a dominatrix costume it is always specifically out of ''nowhere'' and in absurd circunstances.

* ''Manga/{{Konchuki}}'' (2020, ongoing)

* ''Shinigami Musume ha Peropero Shitai'' (2020, written by Akashiro Aoi and with Murata credited as a "composer")

* AttemptedRape: Seems like he can't not [[RRatedOpening start a story]] with one of these and then have more at least once per arc or volume. AllAbusersAreMale is by consequence a constant in his works, but some female characters also join in the "fun". And then there's just how ''Arachnid'' developed and ended...

Note how Dinoponera in ''Arachnid'' loves the in-universe ''Sailor-Force'' anime to the point she's actually named Setsuna or how one major character in ''Majo ni Ataeru Tettsui'', Serena, was designed after Usagi.

** A villain from ''Jackals'', Domino, is reused as the protagonist of ''Majo ni Ataeru Tettsui''. That story's Serena Cervantes is then reused in ''Himenospia'' as one of the antagonists.

* TheVerse: ''Choubu no Shinobi'', ''Jackals'', ''Caterpillar'', ''Arachnid'' and ''Blattodea'' take place in the same setting, in that order.

* ''[[Manga/{{Arachnid}} Caterpillar]]'' (2012-2018)

* RecycledInSpace: He's really fond of that one "protagonist caught in the middle of a war between assassin organizations" premise. Combined with the trope below and how he writes multiple manga at the same time, the recurring themes become very noticeable. At time he'll reuse a plot beat panel-by-panel or a character might start acting awfully similar to another one from a previous story.

* ''Manga/KillingBites'' (2014, ongoing as of 2020)

* ''Manga/{{Himenospia}}'' (2017, ongoing as of 2020)

In 2012 he married Sato, the author of ''Manga/LivingDead'' and ''Fragtime''.

* ''Shinigami Musume ha Peropero Shitai'' (2020)
