In 2013, a dear friend of his was badly beaten by a gang composed of three delinquents. Koichi visited him on his death bed one day before he passed away and that left a big impact on him, leaving him demotivated to work for a while. Later on, that incident turned into inspiration to draw his 2015 manga Kimongai.
