Ogura is well-known in Korea for his contributions to Korean linguistics, with much of his field work and studies considered invaluable resources even in recent years. Ogura made a number of landmark firsts in the field; he was the first person to decipher hyangga poetry documents.

In Korean, he is sometimes called Soch'ang Chinp'yŏng (Korean: 소창진평), the Korean Hanja reading of his name.
