Hisayori Noda is author and co-author of various [[Shogi]] playing programs, and member of their corresponding developing teams.
In 2016, his first Shogi engine was ''Tanuki no Mori'' by the ''Tanuki no Mori Production Committee'' along with [[Jun Okabe]], [[Takahiro Suzuki]], and [[Masatoshi Hidaka]] <ref>[http://www2.computer-shogi.org/wcsc26/team.html 第26回世界コンピュータ将棋選手権 参加チーム] 26th World Computer Shogi Championship participating teams</ref>.
