He had studied under Ei Ogawa, one of the main writers of the Japanese crime drama TV series Taiyō ni Hoero! that Sugimura was hired for in 1975 as well, marking his first job as a scenarist.^[2] Starting his own business, he went on to become the main writer of Sukeban Deka and the Metal Hero Series, and later created scenarios for Seibu Keisatsu, Lupin III Part II, Hadaka no Taishō and Kamen Rider Black.^[2]

Sugimura became involved with Capcom when he was introduced to Yoshiki Okamoto during the production of Resident Evil 2.^[3] 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 studio Flagship in April 1997.^[4]
