The start of 2024 is a very sad time in the Japanese artistic field… After the creator of Suikoden Yoshitaka Murayama and the essential Akira Toriyama known to millions of people around the world, we now learn of the disappearance of Mutsumi Inomata at the age of 63, who passed away on March 10 As announced via his account Twitter / X official by his sister, who mentions the fact that it was sudden. However, the cause is not mentioned. If her name doesn’t mean anything to you, the works on which she worked will not be unknown to you, quite the contrary.
We indeed owe Mutsumi Inomata many chara designs game characters Tales of of Bandai Namco (Tales of Destiny 1 and 2, Graces, Xillia 1 and 2, Berseria, etc.) or certain costumes of Tekken 5, 6 And Tag Tournament 2. She has also worked as an animator and even animation director on anime like City Hunter (Nicky Larson) or as design coordinator on Gundam SEED And SEED Destiny. Projects around the license Dragon Quest were also illustrated by this talented artist, of whom you can find an overview of the work here.
Our thoughts are with his loved ones and family.
