Horibe's art career spanned 14 years, allowing him to be actively involved many works. Credits include many video games such as Fragments Blue (PS2) and Muragiri (PS2) a character design role in the 2004 OAV Interlude and a cover illustration for Hiroyuki Ishikawa's novel Waku no Soto Niaru Fuukei.
