Biography edit · view history
Takayuki Kawasaki joined NEC in 1993, where he worked in overseas sales of telecommunications equipment. In 2002 the Japanese launch of the first-generation Xbox prompted him to move to the game division of Microsoft Japan. Since then, he has worked on development of Microsoft’s first-party titles in Japan as a business manager and producer. Leading titles include Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, N3: Ninety-Nine Nights, Phantom Dust, Blinx: The Time Sweeper, and the Halo: Legends anime films.
After leaving Microsoft, he was a producer at the Japanese video game developer Square Enix before helping to set up Epic Games Japan in December 2009. Making the most of his wide-ranging contacts in the Japanese video game and anime industry, he continues to promote widespread use of Unreal Engine tools for game developers and contribute to the further vitalization of digital entertainment in Japan.
