Oguchi joined Sega in 1984 and was tasked to develop a game about penguins as they were popular in Japan at that time.
The resulting game was Doki Doki Penguin Land which was his first project as a planner. He then developed a number of medal games such as World Derby, World Bingo and Super Derby.
He also directed several arcade video games with Super Monaco GP, Heavyweight Champ and Rad Mobile.
Oguchi became manager of AM3 in 1993, one month after it opened.
He previously worked for AM1.
Oguchi stated that the culture at AM3 was that he would not reject or interfere with ideas, although he would make suggestions.
He likened the environment to a university laboratory and called it "the AM3 way".
Oguchi also addressed AM3's lack of a genre of game in which they specialized, stating that his department's primary objective was to create games that "look interesting", which also meant a focus on arcade games that one would not find on a video game console.
He also strived to create only original games, and not to develop any sequels if possible.
Various developers became famous under Oguchi, including Tetsuya Mizuguchi, who developed Sega Rally.
Derby Owners Club, a representative game of Oguchi, played a crucial role into uplifting Sega's arcade business, as it used cards to save players progress and had a pace that was new to arcades.
In 2000, AM3 became Hitmaker, one of the nine companies that Sega established during its restructure in 2000.

Hitmaker was involved in the establishment of DARTSLIVE Co., Ltd. which produces electronic darts machines, and a darts bar called Bee was opened in Shibuya in 2002.
Oguchi wanted to widen the entertainment that Sega is engaged with.
Oguchi was promoted in 2003 alongside Yuji Naka and Toshihiro Nagoshi, based on the success of arcade games that used cards and medals.
