Japanese Scriptwriters you should know

Most of us drama-addicts have our own ichiban's/ crushes/ idols/ what-ever-else-one-can-call-them whose dramas/movies we just want to see. But even when our favourites are leading the drama/movie, we cannot always say that it actually was a great one. Great cast cannot always save a bad script. For drama/movie to be a great one - it has to have a great script (that's the basic of movie making). So instead of looking up another drama/movie with actor/actress you like, you should check the scriptwriter of some of your favourite dramas/movies and look up some other pieces of her/his works. You might be surprised how good stuff you'll find.
So here is my list of Japanese scriptwriters with titles of dramas/movies from Cypsis's list/ notable titles whose work is something that I can always watch over and over again:

- Kaneko Shigeki (Proposal Daisakusen, Summer Nude, Honey&Clover, Voice)
- Kaneko Arisa (Stand Up!, Papadoru, Sore wa totsuzen arashi no yo ni, Helter Skelter)
- SABU (real name: Tanaka Hiroyuki) (Troubleman, Shissou~Dead Run, Usagi Drop) I have to warn you that SABU is for so called "special taste".
- Kitagawa Eriko (Sunao ni narenakute, Tatta Hitotsu no koi, Postman to Heaven, Halfway, and tribute to Kimutaku: Long Vacation, Beautiful Life, Hundred Million Stars Falling from the sky) to tell you the truth she's not my favourite scriptwriter, but I added her into this list as she is the most awarded and known and many people love her works - I just can't handle all this loveydovey I'm-woman-I'm-weak stories(I prefer SABU's wickedness) 
So let me know your favourite scriptwriters - let's share the awesomeness!!!
