I am honored to have been the producer for the UNDERTALE 10th Anniversary special stream version. It was as fun to work on as it was to watch, thanks to the three musketeers and @tobyfox.undertale.com! I also conceptualised the UNDERTALE Memories project with @fangamer.com. Stay determined!

Excited to attend the UNDERTALE 10th Anniversary Concert in Osaka! I know everyone involved has put in a lot of work to make an incredible experience! 大阪で開催されるUNDERTALE10周年記念コンサートに参加できて嬉しいです！関係者の皆様が、この素晴らしい体験を実現するために多大な努力をしてくださったことは、本当に嬉しいです！

We’re thrilled to welcome Shogo Sakai as a Guest Composer for Star Garden to create two new songs if we reach our $180k stretch goal! 💫 He is known for composing Mother 3, and for his work on Super Smash Bros. Melee and Kirby Air Ride! Thanks Robert Sephazon for coordinating!

The art exhibit at the Nintendo Museum showcases real history. Content includes prototype designs, official key art, comics, sprite sheets, and internal memos. Many items feature hanko stamps and notes from developers including Miyamoto, Tezuka, Yokoi, and more! Image: Nintendo Museum

I have taken inventory of the new art exhibit at the Nintendo Museum. It is a profound display of Nintendo development history. Artwork includes Splatoon, Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Zelda, Star Fox, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Mario, Kirby, and Fire Emblem spanning over four decades of Nintendo history.

Although my time in Seattle was brief, I am excited to have been able to meet and visit with many friends and colleagues. Thank you everyone who contributed to the success of this trip. シアトルでの滞在は短かったものの、多くの友人や同僚と出会い、交流できたことを大変嬉しく思います。この旅の成功に貢献してくださった皆様に感謝申し上げます。

BitSummit was a fun success. It was a great opportunity to see Uematsu-san, Tanaka-san, and meet with friends old and new. We even won a Media Award for Alabaster Dawn! ビットサミットは大成功を収めました。植松さん、田中さんにお会いでき、旧友や新しい友人たちと交流する素晴らしい機会となり、さらには『Alabaster Dawn』でメディア賞を受賞することもできました。

I am honored to finally reveal my role as the producer for Deltarune! It has been a rewarding experience working with @tobyfox.undertale.com and this talented team. On behalf of everyone, we hope you enjoy playing! Here is a totally legit [citation needed] photo with Toby™, we promise.

While I support video game preservation as an art form, the record that explains how and why those games were made must also endure. Interviews, oral histories, and developer commentaries are already vanishing as newspaper archives close, old magazines disappear, and web links vanish.

Had a very lovely time meeting with Aonuma-san tonight. 今夜は青沼さんと会ってとても楽しい時間を過ごしました。

Paper Trail has been nominated for a BAFTA game award!

百人一首の第29番、凡河内躬恒（おしこうちのみつね）によって詠まれた和歌です。 「心あてに 折らばや折らん 初霜の 置きまどわせる 白菊の花」 新しい年を迎えるにあたり、一瞬一瞬を大切に、明確な心で向き合いながら、未知なる美しさを受け入れましょう。

Merry Christmas from the Nintendo Museum! ニンテンドーミュージアムからメリークリスマス！

I recently had the opportunity to tour Riot Games thanks to a kind invitation from their talented illustrator, @misfortuneee.bsky.social. I was simultaneously impressed and overwhelmed with the scale of their studio, but the most memorable part was exploring with a fellow fashion loving dev.

It's beginning to look a lot like Nintendo.

Another day, another adventure. 新しい日、新しい冒険。

Tis the season for The Game Awards.

Special thanks to @omega6.bsky.social for the mention in this month’s issue of Nintendo Dream about our visit to the Nintendo Museum on its opening day! 今月号のニンドリで、ニンテンドーミュージアムの初日訪問について言及してくださった今村さん、本当にありがとうございます！今村さんの視点からその体験についてもっと知ることができて嬉しかったです。

I am truly thankful to Horii-san for the invitation and opportunity to visit the Dragon Quest office. While unrelated to work, it was an honor to be bested by the hero himself! ドラゴンクエストのオフィスに訪問する機会をいただき、堀井雄二さんに心より感謝しております。まさに勇者ご自身に打ち負かされるとは、光栄の至りです！

Welcome to Shimoda Town, the geographical inspiration for Pallet Town. “Shades of your journey await!” 下田市です。この町はポケモンのマサラタウンのインスピレーションです。「マサラは真っ白始まりの色。」 The road to Japan, and Pokémon, begins here, the city where Japan opened to the world.

For my pseudonym namesake, I visited the Square Enix Café on its last Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth collaboration day. 私の仮名の通り、本日『ファイナルファンタジーVII: リバース』コラボ最終日にスクウェア・エニックスカフェを訪れました。

今日お時間を作って頂きありがとうございました、 神谷さん。またお会いできる日を楽しみにしています。 Kamiya-san is not yet on Bluesky, so maybe I can avoid being blocked here for now, but it was a great experience seeing him again.

Aside from game development, I have recently been designing #EGLFashion with a Kirby spin. These are all concepts and do not represent any official works. Designs include Fountain of Dreams, Green Greens, and Gourmet Race. Thanks to @neskybo.bsky.social for illustrating these beautiful dresses.

Gunpei Yokoi’s philosophy of lateral thinking with withered technology lives on with the Ultra Hand from the Nintendo Museum! History is the study of the human experience, and Nintendo history is an accumulative experience of fun.

Eight years ago I was hired to work as a Miiverse Community Insights Specialist with Nintendo of America. This ultimately culminated in my decision to move to Japan to become a video game producer. I recently had the opportunity to visit the office where it all began.

I visited HAL Laboratory with @tuyoki.bsky.social earlier this year thanks to @director-kumazaki.bsky.social. Though unrelated to work, meeting Kirby is always inspiring! 熊崎さん、テミーと一緒に東京のハル研究所にご招待いただき感謝しております。仕事と関係ありませんでしたが、カービィに会うと嬉しいです。

A world of dreams and adventures with Pokémon awaits. Let's go! The amount of detail Pokémon uses in its world building, based on real-world locations, is under-appreciated. Pictured: Shimoda City (Pallet Town), Kinkaku-ji (Bell Tower), Mount Aso (Mt. Chimney) and Lake Toya (Lake Verity).
