A great fan ofShinji Mikami'sResident Evil,Sugimura became involved withCapcomwhen he was introduced toYoshiki Okamotoduring the production ofResident Evil 2.Initially consulted on a trial basis, he ended up writing the complete story for the game and, together with Okamoto and two others, co-founded the now-defunct Capcom writers studioFlagshipin April 1997 and would later work on other Capcom titles such asClock Tower 3,Dino Crisis 2,Dino Stalker,Dino Crisis 3,and the first three main installments of theOnimushaseries.
