After working for many years at Sega with Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, Toshihiro Nagoshi had left the Japanese publisher last October, with insistent rumors that pointed to the arrival of the creator of the series Yakuza at the Chinese giant NetEase Games. It is now recorded, since we learn of the creation of Nagoshi Studio, directed by Nagoshi himself (necessarily, with such a name).
A new dream team
This brand new development studio is therefore based in the heart of Shibuya in Tokyo, and Toshihiro Nagoshi officiates here as president and CEO. At his side, we can find his friend Daisuke Sato, who will be producer and director here, as well as Kazuki Hosokawa as artistic director and the following artists:
- Koji Tokieda – programmer
- Masao Shirosaki – game designer
- Mitsunori Fujimoto – engineer
- Naoki Someya – background designer
- Toshihiro Ando – character designer

All these beautiful people have already worked at Sega, and most of these people have also worked on the series Yakuza and Judgment. The studio will aim to create console games high quality “, which will be distributed all over the world. The studio’s official website is already open.
