Yōichi Erikawa

Developer BIO

Yōichi Erikawa (襟川 陽一) co-founded Koei in 1978, originally a chemical company. Making video games was just a hobby of his, but then he developed Nobunaga's Ambition in 1983, and his employees liked it so much that the company decided to publish it. He then turned the company into a game studio and used the name "Kou Shibusawa" as his game developing alias. (He has also used the name Eiji Fukuzawa for Koei's series of "rekoeition" games.) He is best known for producing and designing games in Koei's Historical Simulation and World War series of games. He was the president of the company at one time, but stepped down to produce games again. He is an adviser to the board of directors.
