Jesse Noble

Jesse Noble (ジェシー・ノーブル) is a member of Koei Tecmo's Team NINJA division, serving as a planner and translator for the brand.

Originally from the United States, Noble went to Japan as an international student due to his interest in the country's culture. Despite working as an English teacher to support himself, he did not have much of an idea of what he wanted to do in life other than work in the country of his dreams. He attended an animation school for a time, but later decided that the gaming industry would be a better fit for him since he loved playing the Dead or Alive series.

Coincidentally enough, he became acquainted with Team NINJA's art director Yutaka Saito during an event in his animation school. The two of them exchanged emails which led Noble to work part-time for Koei Tecmo. It got to the point where he eventually became a full-time employee much to his own surprise. He is currently tasked with contacting overseas companies to ensure that any language differences are smoothed over.

Noble initially viewed business customs in Japan as rigid and uptight, but was happily proven wrong by his team's bright and welcoming environment. He believes that recruiting more workers from different cultural backgrounds would benefit the company by providing unique insights to complement domestic perspectives. Being involved in real-time cinematics, he hopes to one day become a director in his own right.
