The first project he worked on was Guilty Gear Isuka, he came up with the functional designs of A.B.A. and Robo-Ky Mk. II. Next, in Guilty Gear XX Slash, he served as the director and worked on the technical and visual aspects of Order-Sol.

On February 28, 2023, it was announced that MORI Toshimichi, alongside AOKI Toshinori, former vice president of Marvelous Inc., established Studio Flare, a game development studio based in Tokyo, with financial support from NetEase Games.
