Hi everyone,

We just launched a new video on Cutscenes; an interview with the CEO & Founder of the Koei Tecmo group Yoichi Erikawa, celebrating this year his 40th anniversary as game creator under the alias Ko Shibusawa.

As a pioneer of the simulation game genre, he reminisced on the three titles that layered his path as a game creator, starting with a title unknown in Japan, Kawanakajima no Kassen, released in 1981.

Up next on Cutscenes, a series based on our long interview with Hideki Kamiya, spanning across Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Bayonetta, The Wonderful 101... and more.

Stay safe!

Yoichi Erikawa, the origin of Koei | 襟川陽一、コーエーの起源

English subtitles are available under the "CC" menu. We visited Koei Tecmo’s new headquarters to exchange with the company’s CEO Yoichi Erikawa, celebrating his 40th career anniversary under his alias Ko Shibusawa, learning about the titles that defined his path as a game creator and laying down the foundations to the history simulation game genre. The journey starts in 1981, with a game almost unknown in the West: Kawanakajima no Kassen. コーエーテクモの新社屋を訪れ、襟川陽一社長にお話を伺った。今年「シブサワ・コウ」の40周年にちなみ、本人のゲームクリエイターとしての道筋を築き上げたタイトルについてご教示いただき、そして前衛的だった歴史シミュレーションゲームのジャンルに感じる魅力についてお話しいただきました。 ゲーム会社としてコーエーの長い歴史が、1981年・『川中島の合戦』というゲームから始まります。
