Technically he did not "invent" anything, but he found out and proved that one of the two strands in new forming DNA during replication is replicating discontinuously, which means there are small fragments of DNA, which are to be connected afterwards. These fragments are named after him Okazaki fragments.

What was the contribution of reiji and tuneko okazaki and colleagues with regard to these replication models?

Reiji and Tsuneko Okazaki, along with colleagues, discovered short DNA fragments called Okazaki fragments that are synthesized discontinuously during DNA replication on the lagging strand. Their work helped to elucidate the process of DNA replication and how it occurs on both the leading and lagging strands, leading to the development of the Okazaki fragment model for DNA replication.

What okazaki fragments are?

In DNA replication, the two DNA strands acting as templates need to be synthesized simultaneously. DNA polymerase is an enzyme which can synthesize the DNA only in 5' to 3' direction.the two template strands are anti-parallel to each other and their complementary strands are synthesized in different direction. In one of the strand DNA is synthesized continuously by adding nucleotides at 3'-OH end. this is referred as 'leading strand' synthesis. the other strand to be synthesized is replicated in short fragments referred 'Okazaki fragments' named after their discoverer Reiji Okazaki.
