His respect for Go Morita from V6, is the reason why Okura joined Johnny & Associates.
Okura entered the agency on September 6, 1997. His cousin sent in a resume on his behalf, but was not called back to audition until 2 years later. During his audition, future co-members from what was to become Kanjani 8, where also there.
Okura had a difficult time finding work at the beginning. While he was acting in "Kyo to Kyo", a stage play, from 1997 to 1998, from 1999 to 2001 he had little to no performances. Around Spring 2001, was part of the Johnny's Jr. unit M.A.O., but left soon after. He had been chosen to be a part of V.West, a Kansai region-based Johnny's Jr., which would become Kanjani 8 by 2002, when he took over for the V West drummer. Fellow member Yasuda Shota told Johnny Kitagawa about Okura. In December 2002, he joined the program "J3KANSAI" as a new regular member. Not knowing how to drum but eager to try, Okura began intensive lessons.
Okura debuted with Kanjani 8 in 2004, with the Single "Nanika Iroha Bushi".
He had his first solo concert in 2008.
On January 17, 2016, he canceled his performance at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka due to an intestinal obstruction. On January 20, he reported that he had returned to work. It was the first time a member of the group had cancelled a concert appearance.
