Originally an artist for pixel animations and illustrations, Ogura became the creative director of the fighting game The King of Fighters XV.
Ogura tried to take advantage of Neo Geo's console limitations in order to create appealing 2D animations.
[5] Ogura expressed difficulties in the handling of the main characters like Kyo Kusanagi as he, despite often wearing different outfits for story arc, he was given a more masculine appearance for The King of Fighters XIII.
Artist Ogura expressed pressure in drawing this incarnation of Kyo as it had to live up to a long reputation he has had ever since his introduction in 1994.
[8] Ogura is returning to make The King of Fighters XV but in the position of creative director with Tomohiro Nakata taking over his previous work.
