Katsuya Eguchi Biography
Katsuya Eguchi (Japanese: 江口 勝也 , Hepburn: Eguchi Katsuya, born April 7, 1965) is a Japanese game designer, producer, and deputy general manager at Nintendo Entertainment Planning & Development, most known for being a creator and a spokesperson of the Animal Crossing series. He was born in 1965 in Tokyo, Japan and grew up in the Chiba Prefecture. He began work at Nintendo in 1986 and spent some time doing promotional artwork before starting as a designer on Super Mario Bros. 3. He first served as director for Star Fox in 1993. Other games he has directed include Super Mario World, Star Fox 2, Wave Race 64, and Yoshi’s Story.
“Another thing is that I’d always get home really late. And my family plays games, and would sometimes be playing when I got home. And I thought to myself – they’re playing games, and I’m playing games, but we’re not really doing it together. It’d be nice to have a play experience where even though we’re not playing at the same time, we’re still sharing things together. So this was something that the kids could play after school, and I could play when I got home at night, and I could kind of be part of what they were doing while I wasn’t around. And at the same time they get to see things I’ve been doing. It was kind of a desire to create a space where my family and I could interact more, even if we weren’t playing together.”
“Animal Crossing features three themes: family, friendship and community. But the reason I wanted to investigate them was a result of being so lonely when I arrived in Kyoto! Chiba is east of Tokyo and quite a distance from Kyoto, and when I moved there I left my family and friends behind. In doing so, I realised that being close to them – being able to spend time with them, talk to them, play with them – was such a great, important thing. I wondered for a long time if there would be a way to recreate that feeling, and that was the impetus behind the original Animal Crossing.”
Eguchi is credited with the creation of the Animal Crossing series. Mental Floss writes that “Animal Crossing was inspired by Eguchi’s experiences…when he was a 21 year-old graduate who’d taken the decisive step of moving from Chiba, where he’d grown up and studied, to Nintendo’s HQ in Kyoto.” And in addition: “Eguchi wanted to recreate the feeling of being alone in a new town, away from friends and family.”
