Biography edit · view history
Keiko Ijuu (伊集 桂子) is a Japanese game designer and producer. She started her career at SNK in 1986, initially working as a graphic artist and often credited as simply "Keiko". Among other titles, she worked on the Ikari Warriors games, and notably designed the main characters Ralf and Clark.
Around 1993, she joined Atlus as a producer and director at the company's recently-opened Kansai development branch. Among other titles, she was a key creative force behind the Power Instinct series. At Atlus, she was often credited as "Chuuko".
She left Atlus in 1997, and established the development company Noise Factory in January 1998 with several other Power Instinct staff. Noise Factory worked with both SNK and Atlus on franchises that she had previously had a hand in at those companies. She was Noise Factory's director until the company closed its doors in March 2017.
