Yoshiki Okamoto

Yoshiki Okamoto ( born June 10, 1961 in Ehime, Japan) is a video game designer who has developed successful arcade and computer games since the 1980s.

His early games were among the titles Gyruss and Time Pilot, the new standards in the genre of shoot ' em up games translated. Although the games were economically very successful for the computer game company Konami in charge, his employer was not very pleased, because it wanted to have a racing game from him.
