His first job was working in the photo department of a sports news agency before changing his career to be a writer. He began writing for a magazine covering the supernatural while also writing screenplays for various anime productions before he eventually began working with Nihon Falcom. After penning the scripts for the Ys anime OVAs, Hayakawa began writing scripts for the company's games as well. Tadashi Hayakawa was the most involved with Falcom's Brandish (Franchise) franchise, where he helped write the scenario for the first three games and even wrote a novel based off the series.
