As a kid, I was a big comic fan and I liked foreign comics as well.

Nowadays I think it's really important that designers are really unique and individual.

I think what's really the most ideal thing is for the player themselves, within their own imagination, to carve out what they view as being the essence of the character.

Necessity is the mother of invention. I love solving things like that. Because there wasn't enough memory, thinking of an economical way to make the movements look right was like solving a puzzle, and I had a lot of fun.

I try not so much to create new characters and worlds but to create new game-play experiences.

I think I can make an entirely new game experience, and if I can't do it, some other game designer will.

As long as I can enjoy something, other people can enjoy it, too.
