The credit in question reads:

Scripts by
name 1
...
name 6

Should this be listed as writer or screenwriter?

This is for the TV show Hamtaro.  It's based on a series of books for children by Ritsuko Kawai, for whatever that is worth (Kawai has a 'created by' credit in the episode credits).

I am guessing that they wrote the scripts for each episode?  Are there any other writing credits?  If not, I would go with 'screenwriter'.

The only credits we get for writing are:

- Created by
- Scripts by
- English Adaptation by

Created by is obvious.  Adaptation we don't profile.  I was unsure of Scripts by, so therefore asked. 

The only issue is that the credits are the same for every episode, so we don't know who scripted which one.  But the obvious answer from the Profiler standard is just enter all names that appear, so that isn't actually an issue anyway.
