Born in Kumamoto on the island of Kyushu, the young Nobuhiko Horie relocated to Tokyo to study law at the nation's prestigious Waseda University. Upon graduation, Horie began his career in manga by joining the editorial department at Shueisha in 1979. There, he served as an editor to numerous creators including Tetsuo Hara, Tsukasa Hojo, Ryuji Tsugihara and Hisashi Eguchi.

After successfully steering many of his creators to commercial success, Horie was appointed the 5th editor-in-chief at Weekly Shonen Jump in 1993. Within just 2 years of his appointment, Horie achieved a Guinness World record for number of manga issues sold in a single week, exceeding a staggering 6,530,000 units in just seven days.

Taking a sabbatical from manga in 1995, Horie joined fashion magazine "Men's Non-no" as editor-in-chief, assuming the same position at BART magazine the following year where he remained until the turn of the century.

Ushering in a new chapter, Horie resigned from Shueisha in 2000 and returned to his manga roots by inviting his former creators, Tetsuo Hara, Tsukasa Hojo, and Ryuji Tsugihara to establish Coamix Inc. As representative director, Horie also served as editor-in-chief for the newly established Weekly Comic Bunch until 2004, when he established North Star Pictures Inc., to focus on copyright management and animation adaptations.

In 2010, Weekly Comic Bunch came to an end but was immediately succeeded by Monthly Comic Zenon, a publication in which Horie once again took up the reigns as editor-in-chief for the first three years of its inception. In addition to pioneering a slew of innovations within the manga industry, both domestically and internationally.
