Yusaku Kimura

Yusaku Kimura (木村 勇作, Kimura Yuusaku) is a CG designer who joined Koei Tecmo in 2010. He specializes in drafting animations for 3D models and creating character designs.

As an art student, Kimura had always wanted to draw illustrations for a living. Despite majoring in advertisement design, he found himself working for Koei Tecmo while out job hunting. At first, he was assigned to come up with motion designs for 3D models. Eventually, his responsibilities shifted when he got transferred to the character design team which allowed him to draw to his heart's content.

Although Kimura managed to obtain the job of his dreams, he still continues to practice drawing at home. For him, self-improvement is the best way to grow as an artist. He hopes that improving his own skills would allow him to better capture the ideas and specifications of game designers within the company.
