Toru Osawa: Difference between revisions

'''Toru Osawa''' is a Japanese game designer, an employee at [[Nintendo]], and the creator of the [[Kid Icarus series]] <ref> http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/29565/making-of-a-myth-the-grueling-development-of-the-original-kid-icarus</ref>. He was a worker at the now-defunct Nintendo R&D1 (and is now part of the restructured Nintendo SPD <ref>http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/3ds/zelda-ocarina-of-time/1/0</ref>). He started out as the only person working on the original ''[[Kid Icarus]]'', until the completion of ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'' where [[Yoshio Sakamoto]] and the rest of his team helped develop to meet its December deadline. He has worked on a few other Nintendo games such as the Japan-only ''[[wikipedia:For the Frog the Bell Tolls|For the Frog the Bell Tolls]]'', and the script director of the highly-acclaimed ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''.  

*When ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' was revealed at E3 2006, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] mentioned that the creator of ''Kid Icarus'' jokingly asked if he could make a spin-off using the new Pit model.<ref>http://www.ign.com/articles/2006/05/31/sakurais-smash-bros-update</ref> Altough Osawa's name was not outright stated, Sakurai was most likely talking about him.
