1. Shigenori Soejima Persona/Shin Megami Tensei
Shigenori Soejima (副島 成記, Soejima Shigenori) is a Japanese illustrator, graphic designer and
currently an employee of Atlus' Japanese branch. He is best known for his work on both Persona 3
and Persona 4 and is responsible for the art direction of the Persona Team's games. His style is
nowadays defined by the vibrant colors in his artwork that create a certain sense of lighting as well
as his characters that resemble typical manga-styled figures.
Soejima stated in an interview that he prefers to sketch on paper as he can't be creative while
staring on a computer screen although the majority of his work is done using programs like SAI and
Adobe Photoshop.
2. Ken Sugimori Pokemon
From early 1981 until 1986, Sugimori illustrated a gaming fanzine called Game Freak, which had
been started by Satoshi Tajiri. Sugimori discovered the magazine in a dōjinshi shop, and decided to
get involved. Eventually, the two decided to pitch an arcade game design idea to Namco; they
reworked Game Freak into a development company and produced Mendel Palace. Sugimori is most
famous as the character designer and art director for the Pokémon franchise and drew all of the
original 151 Pokémon himself. He has worked on the various Pokémon movies, trading cards, and
other games.
For Pokémon Black and White, Sugimori directed a team of 17 people in designing new characters
for the games, though he always drew the final designs. He drew much of his inspiration from
observing animals in aquariums and zoos. Sugimori has also written and illustrated original manga,
including one which was distributed with pre-orders of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of
Time and Explorers of Darkness. When he begins a new character, his process normally involves
making a rough sketch, then tracing it on to film paper while polishing it and making the illustration
more professional looking. After that, he draws the character many times, changing its proportions
until he is satisfied.
3. Alexandra Steible Rayman
(Can’t find info on her so I got info on the game instead)
Rayman is a 1995 side-scrolling platform game developed by Ubi Soft Montpellier and published by
Ubi Soft. The first instalment in the Rayman series, the game follows the adventures of Rayman, a
hero who must save his colourful world from the evil Mr. Dark.

around the same time, and further ports were created for MS-DOS and Sega Saturn in 1996. It has

4. Shigeru Miyamoto Mario
Nintendo, a relatively small Japanese company, had traditionally sold playing cards and other
novelties, although it had started to branch out into toys and games in the mid 1960s. Through a
mutual friend, Miyamoto's father arranged an interview with Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi.
After showing some of his toy creations, Miyamoto was hired in 1977 as an apprentice in the
planning department.
Miyamoto went on to become the company's first artist. He helped create the art for the company's
first original coin-operated arcade video game, Sheriff. He first helped the company develop a game
with the 1980 release Radar Scope. The game achieved moderate success in Japan, but by 1981,
Nintendo's efforts to break it into the North American video game market had failed, leaving the
company with a large number of unsold units and on the verge of financial collapse. In an effort to
keep the company afloat, Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi decided to convert unsold Radar
Scope units into a new arcade game. He tasked Miyamoto with the conversion, about which
Miyamoto has said self-deprecatingly said that "no one else was available" to do the work.
Nintendo's head engineer, Gunpei Yokoi, supervised the project.
5. Shuichi Shigeno initial D Extreme stage
Shuichi Shigeno (重野 秀一 or しげの 秀一 Shigeno Shūichi?, born March 8, 1958) is a Japanese
