I was born in Japan and raised in Japan, but those are the only things that make me Japanese, I've grown up reading books from all over.

I want my games to teach a message about life, by presenting situations where the answer isn't a clear yes or no.

You have to be very careful when you're working on a sequel, because it has to be a continuation of what you did before.

Games are a way of escaping reality - that's why you need heroic factor.

Japanese gamers aren't really into action games right now. They're into role-playing or strategy games with a lot of stats, but action titles are still really popular across the US and Europe.

There are so many books and movies I like I never mention specific ones.

Hollywood continues to present the US army as being the good guys, always defeating the aliens or foreigners.
