Igarashi is perhaps best known for directing, designing, and writing Konami’s Castlevania: Symphony of the Night platformer game.
Los Angeles anime convention Anime Expo announced on Tuesday that it will host video game designer Koji Igarashi at this year’s event.
His Kickstarter campaign to fund his planned Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night game, a spiritual successor to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, successfully raised US$5.5 million last year.
He also wrote the scenario for the original Tokimeki Memorial game, as well as Tokimeki Memorial: Forever With You.
