==Career== Hinoue entered a [[vocational school]] to become a professional artist due to being influenced by the popular [[Eroge|adult]] [[visual novel]] ''[[Dōkyūsei]]'' by [[ELF Corporation|ELF]]. Her first work for a visual novel was as one of many artists for ''Tamago Ryōri'' by Bon Bin Pompon in 1996, but shortly after transferred to the [[software company]] [[Tactics (company)|Tactics]] under the publisher [[Nexton]].<ref name="erogamescape">{{citeweb|url= http://erogamescape.dyndns.org/~ap2/ero/toukei_kaiseki/creater.php?creater=621|title=Itaru Hinoue's visual novel contributions |accessdate=2007-11-16|language=Japanese}}</ref> There, she was the art director of three games: ''[[Dōsei]]'', ''[[Moon.]]'', and ''[[One: Kagayaku Kisetsu e]]''. After the completion of ''One'', Hinoue and much of the staff who made both ''Moon.'' and ''One'', including [[Jun Maeda]], [[Shinji Orito]], [[Naoki Hisaya]], and [[OdiakeS]], left Tactics to work under the video game publishing company [[Visual Art's]] where they formed the company Key. At Key, Hinoue was the sole art director for their first three titles, ''[[Kanon]]'', ''[[Air (visual novel)|Air]]'', and ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'', and did not contribute for the two games that followed, ''[[Planetarian: Chiisana Hoshi no Yume]]'', and ''[[Tomoyo After: It's a Wonderful Life]]''. For Key's sixth title ''[[Little Busters!]]'', Hinoue shared the position of art director with fellow artist [[Na-Ga]], though Na-Ga provided most of art for the characters. Outside of Key in 2006, Hinoue was the art director for the [[yaoi]] visual novel ''Bokura wa Minna, Koi o suru'' by the company Pekoe, also under Visual Art's.<ref name="erogamescape"/> Starting in December 2007, Hinoue was one of three personalities (the others being [[Shinji Orito]] and another named woman from Pekoe named Chiro) on an [[Internet radio]] show sponsored by Key in regards to Key. Listeners can submit thoughts about the show and any requests they may have for the show, along with submitting questions to the host trio.<ref name="key-radio">{{citeweb|url= http://key.visualarts.gr.jp/gallery/radio/index.html|title=Key Radio section at Key's official website|publisher=[[Key (company)|Key]]|accessdate=2008-01-29|language=Japanese}}</ref>
