Despite having worked on big name franchises like Romancing SaGa, No More Heroes, and Little King's Story, Yoshiro Kimura is not a name everyone in gaming is familiar with. It may just be a matter of time until that changes, especially seeing how cynical and negativity-soaked many people's online experiences are these days. Remember when Bob Ross suddenly got huge on Twitch? People were hungry for pure, genuine positivity in the face of a social media culture that almost always rewards negativity and snark with attention, while remaining suspicious and critical of anyone who seems to actually care about anything.
To cut through that kind of garbage, you need to find a person who is so glowing with goodness that shit just wont stick to them. I often wish that I was that person, but I'm not. Thankfully, gaming already has a much more worthy candidate for the job. Kimura-san, and his talking onion mouthpiece on Twitter, are the two most kind, grounded and ironically human characters in game development today.
After the release of Dandy Dungeon: Legend of Brave Yamata, Onion Games's latest title, we had the opportunity to catch up with Kimura-san for a three part interview about his work at Square-Enix, Grasshopper Manufacture, his current projects, and a lot more. Bew sure to handle with care. The cut of these onions may even bring a tear to your eye.
