The real designer behind Pikachu
A lot of people think than Ken Sugimori is the man behind the creation of Pikachu. It's true that Ken is largely responsible for the Pokemon series, but he wasn't the one that thought up Pikachu. That honor belongs to character designer Atsuko Nishida. This information was reconfirmed in the latest PR for Hometown Story.
Developed by Yasuhiro Wada, the "Father of Harvest Moon," and his studio TOYBOX in Tokyo, Japan, Hometown Story takes players to a new fantastic world filled with color and hope. With music composed by Nobuo Uematsu, famous for his beautiful compositions for the Final Fantasy series, and character designs by Atsuko Nishida, the designer behind Pikachu and numerous other Pokémon, Hometown Story has a powerhouse team with massive creativity between them that creates a unique setting that players will be able to experience for the first time during next month’s show.
Just an interesting bit of trivia that I was unaware of. Did you guys and gals know?
