- Gen Urobuchi (虚淵 玄, Urobuchi Gen) is a Japanese writer. Like Yoshiyuki Tomino, he is known for his dark endings and killing off characters, this has earned him the fan nickname "Urobutcher." Gen Urobuchi currently works at Nitroplus. Notable works he has written include the 2003 visual novel Saya no Uta, the 2011 Magical girl anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica, the light novel Fate/Zero, the 2013 mecha anime Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet and the 2014 mecha anime ALDNOAH.ZERO. He has even written Tokusatsu such as the 2013–2014 Kamen Rider Series Kamen Rider Gaim.
- Before writing Fate/Zero, Urobuchi was going through a difficult period as a writer where he could no longer write as he once had in the past. He especially had trouble with the endings of his works. He felt he was trapped in the stereotype that the only true creative activity was something that had to express his own thoughts. He didn't believe that he could adapt a story that he hadn't created without being insincere. Writing Fate/Zero helped him reaffirm the pleasure of simply writing, allowing him to concentrate on writing stories merely for entertainment without allowing too much pressure to be placed on himself.

Writing Fate/Zero helped him reaffirm the pleasure of simply writing, allowing him to concentrate on writing stories merely for entertainment without allowing too much pressure to be placed on himself. Much of the process was supervised by Kinoko Nasu, who looked over the draft for the new characters and the plot. He admits that about ninety percent were accepted immediately due to being Nasu's ideas in the first place. All of the characters were named by Nasu except for Hisau Maiya, which was suggested by Urobuchi. Urobuchi favourite scene was the reincarnation of the true Gilgamesh. Urobuchi wanted to dedicate more pages to Kariya Matou and Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri. But it probably wouldn't turn out to be a happy scene if he were to write it.
