Biography

Shinohara was born on January 9, 1974, in Chiba Prefecture.[1] Starting his career as a salaryman, Shinohara decided to drop out of his white-collar job for two years while preparing for his debut as a manga artist.[2][3]

Shinohara worked as an assistant under Hideaki Sorachi on Gintama for a short time using the alias Shintaroh Nakae (なかえ しんたろう Nakae Shintarō), an anagram of "Kenta Shinohara".[4] During his stint with Sorachi, Shinohara called him a "teacher" who taught him necessary skills.[4]

In June and September 2003, Shinohara was one of the final candidates for the monthly JUMP 12 Outstanding Rookie Manga Award (ジャンプ十二傑新人漫画賞) both months, though he failed to win either award.[5]

Shinohara wrote two one-shots for Sket Dance in the winter and summer of 2006, submitting them to Akamaru Jump and Weekly Shōnen Jump respectively. The second one-shot was a pilot arranged in a book volume format, similar to the eventual first chapter of the main series.[5] Serialization of Sket Dance began on July 14, 2007, in Weekly Shōnen Jump.

In the fifteenth volume of Sket Dance, released on September 1, 2010, Shinohara announced that he would be getting married.[6]
