description: "Yūto Tonokawa  (pseudonym) is a Japanese scenario writer originally from Saitama, Japan. He had worked for the visual novel studio Key under VisualArt's. He began working with Key on their sixth game Little Busters! and wrote the scenarios for two of the main heroines: Komari Kamikita, and Yuiko Kurugaya. Tonokawa also wrote the scenario for Sasami Sasasegawa in Little Busters! Ecstasy. He provided the lyrics to one of the ending themes from the same game, \"Alicemagic\", as his first job as a lyricist. Tonokawa wrote the scenarios for Chihaya Ohtori and Sizuru Nakatsu in Key's ninth game Rewrite. Among Key's staff, Tonokawa updated the company's official blog the most often. Despite his accomplishments, Tonokawa has referred to himself as \"only an incompetent writer.\" In July 2008, Tonokawa was living in the same apartment building in Osaka that Jun Maeda had once lived in, though he did not know this when he moved into the building. Tonokawa resigned from Key in 2015."
