"Hi, I’m the director of No More Heroes, I’m basically in control of the scenarios and the game design – I’m also the CEO of Grasshopper Manufacture, which was established in 1998. Before that I’ve been working on titles for specifically the Japanese market, but since working on Killer 7 I’ve wanted to make more action titles, which is how I came up with No More Heroes. People often say that the work I’m doing now appeals more to the European and US market than the Japanese market – so that’s why at TGS I’m doing interviews with mostly Western press! There isn’t that much interest from Japanese press.

I started in the industry by making Pro Wrestling video games. There’s a classic Japanese series called Fire Pro Wrestling, which was developed by Human back then. In 1994 I worked on the third instalment of the series, which I enjoyed because I’m a big fan of Pro Wrestling! Working on that title was the reason why I wanted to join the video games industry."
