Kaito Sawatari

Kaito Sawatari (沢渡 海斗, Sawatari Kaito) is a web designer who works for Koei Tecmo's marketing department. Having studied design in Musashino Art University, he joined the company some time in 2012. He sometimes goes by the user name Kyte Sawatari. He is also a member of his workplace's free climbing club.

In his college years, Sawatari used to spend many nights playing Warriors games with his friends. Having immersed himself in both animation and graphics, he originally wanted to be a cartoonist, but ended up delving more into the world of web design. This may have been partially due to the field prioritizing more on skill versatility over proficiency. Nonetheless, it was an area Sawatari felt comfortable in.

When Sawatori landed his first job creating an ad page for a magazine he had loved, the young designer was constantly pressured to come up with good ideas to get it done right. He eventually got over his anxiety after making numerous corrections to the design thanks to feedback provided by the publisher. He would later go on to replicate his success with designing websites for Koei Tecmo's latest titles, making sure the aesthetics were a good match for them.

Despite the difficulties Sawatari went through during his first year of employment, he now enjoys learning new things to help widen his array of skills. He sincerely hopes more designers will consider joining the video game industry due to the many creative opportunities it has to offer.
