Inuki was born in Hokkaidō and moved to Tokyo as a young girl. Starting out with an interest in manga she began to draw and write for horror manga. Her first published work was the short story Orusuban in 1987, which was published in a special edition of the shōjo manga magazine Shōjo Friend which was compiled by Kazuo Umezu.[1] She was then a part of the 1990s boom in the horror genre in the Japanese manga market, becoming one of the leading authors and publishing in magazines like Mystery House, Suspiria and Suspense & Horror. Her work is characterized by a rich style of terror, influenced by folklore, tradition and the moralising ironic humor. She has been called the "Queen of the Horror Manga".[2][3][4][5][6][7]
