These are the people who created MUSHIKING!
They're all good buddies. |
|
 |
 |
| Hiroshi is the person who had the original idea for the game, and is leader of the MUSHIKING team. He's full of great ideas for new games. |
| I plan to keep making MUSHIKING battles and cards more and more fun in the future, so have a great time playing! |
|
|
 |
 |
| Hiroteru is the game screen, card and machine designer. He has a lot of cool ideas, and he was the one who came up with the idea of staging the battles like a pro wrestling bout. |
| How many cards have you got? I'm planning to make a bunch of new beetles and attacking moves, so keep playing and make sure you collect them all. |
|
|
 |
 |
| Tomonori created the battle rules and Special Attacks. The ideas for MUSHIKING's exciting battles all came from him. He's also pretty good with CG (computer graphics)! |
| The battles are pretty intense, I really hope you try them! All of us in the team are really into the game - we hope you'll enjoy battling your friends, too! |
|
|
 |
 |
| Masao is our CG specialist. He creates beetles and the attacking moves they use. He's an expert at making the attacking moves look really cool, and he works at it really hard! |
| I have a pet fish called a "silver arowana". It isn't used to people yet, but it's really cute. |
|
|
 |
 |
| Our CG wizard. He comes up with new beetles and attacks in next to no time, and he never seems fazed. Probably because of this, though, people are always hassling him to help with this and that. |
| I love soccer. I'm in the company futsal team. We're going to practice hard and try to win the title! |
|
|
 |
 |
| Ito is a MUSHIKING card designer. She also designs posters and MUSHIKING goods. She's an up-and-coming star in our team. |
| I'm Ito, and I've just joined the MUSHIKING team. It's my job to create more and more new, cool cards, so keep an eye out for them! |
|
|
 |
 |
| Our main programmer. He programs the system behind the game. People call him "Iceman". If you can't be cool at all times, you'll never make a good programmer. |
| To win when you battle your friends, the secret is to figure out what they tend to throw when they play Rock Paper Scissors, and to pay attention to the slightest movement of their fingers. |
|
|
 |
 |
| Tsuyoshi programs the battles. His programs make the beetles move. He's a real gentle guy, and very clever. He loves eating and cooking. |
| I want to open a caf_ bar some day. I've already worked out what the menu will be! |
|
|
 |
 |
| Kanichi is the main programmer for our next software development. Details about the next game are top secret. He is a really passionate guy. |
| I'm a Hanshin Tigers baseball team fan! In the summer of 2004, both MUSHIKING and the Tigers are going to blow the roof off! |
|
|
 |
 |
| He's responsible for all the sounds in the game, such as the music and the calls of the beetles. You can't imagine just how many sounds are ringing around in this guy's head. |
| I want to be with beetles…just like "Nakata-san" in the book "Kafka on the Shore"… |
|
|
 |
 |
| Taro carried out research all over Japan for MUSHIKING and is also really good at MUSHIKING. He always does the right thing, and is an all-round nice guy! |
| Hi! I'm Taro Nishiyama. What's that? You think I look like that "MUSHIKING Johnny" guy? Must be just your imagination! Anyway, I hope you enjoy MUSHIKING! |
|
|
 |
 |
| It's Fumio's job to let you all know about MUSHIKING. He's like our big brother! |
| I'll keep you all informed about new cards and games. I'm planning to organize some events as well - I'm sure you'll enjoy them! |
|
|
 |
 |
| Tomoko puts together the monthly MUSHIKING Newspaper and looks after the Gift Corner. Recently it seems she's been suffering from a bad toothache. |
| Help me! I need your help to publish the MUSHI KING Newspaper! I'm waiting for your MUSHIKING news! Let's make a great newspaper together! |
