 Q: In your opinion, which is cooler: ninjas or pirates? A: [Smiling] I could not get myself to create a pirate game. Q: Do you ever get a bit overwhelmed when you repeatedly postpone your projects over and over? A: [Smiling] I increase my bet as much as I can when I gamble. If you are afraid of losing your stakes, you can't become a good gambler. Q: What is your favorite American city and why? A: Las Vegas. Q: Do you like to watch anime? If so, what are some of your favorites? A: Arrivederci Space Cruiser Yamato and Galaxy Express 999. Q: What is the true purpose of the ninja? A: There are multiple purposes. It would be like a secret force in today's military. Duties would include not only spying and invasion, but also the use of force. Q: You're a pretty tough guy—do you sleep with weapons under your pillow? A: I have a bunch of books. Q: True or False? The country of Brazil has the best and most beautiful women in the world. A: Don't ask such questions before coming to Japan! Q: If you had to work with another developer to co-develop a game, who would you work with and why? A: I only like to work alone. Q: How do you feel about the industry's current dependency on sequels? A: The end result of a game reflects the intelligence level of the person(s) who created that game. Q: Are you a friend of Konami's Akira Yamaoka (producer, Silent Hill)? You two look like rock stars! A: I have never met him nor heard of him. Q: What kind of alcohol do you prefer? Whiskey, wine, or beer? A: Alcohol is very important to game development—I like them all. |

It would be incredible working at Team Ninja! It would probably also be incerdibly difficult getting a job there though.

Nowadays its always advantages to have mulltiple talents in the computer field. If your good at programming, Digital Animation and Graphics Design,(as well as a huge portfollio of your work) you have a very high chance in working for good game companies. (Tecmo included.)
