Tomonobu Itagaki

Japanese video game designer (1967–2025)

“I only included things that everybody likes, like violence, flowers, children, women, friendship and death.”
“The testers who tested this game went nuts. At first it was easier, but when the testers said "this is too difficult", I made it even more difficult.”
“I no longer can figure out what the hell they're trying to do with the numbering, and I don't know which one is which. I don't know what they're trying to do with all of these spin-offs, so this includes Nina: Death by Degrees as well. I don't think it even needs saying, but people should stay away from Tekken. Nothing left to say. I just don't want them to disappoint me any more. It's so annoying. Please don't annoy me any more.”
“If I made a similar game as a game I made in the company I quit, people would say, "What an idiot, can't he make anything else?" Well, that is more or less the opinion I have for, uh, that Bayo-something game.”
