    For the opener of our Characters in Gaming I have decided that it would only be fitting to do some research on one of the lesser known characters out there. That being the idea behind it, I decided that Tomonobu Itagaki would be the most befitting character in the world. Little is known of this man other then the fact that he loves big bouncing breasts, ninjas, and wearing his sunglasses at night. This mysterious leader of the Team Ninja Development house doesn't make many appearances in public and loves to run his mouth when he can.

    Itagaki had begun his career in 1992 at Tecmo as the graphics programmer for one of the most famous football games on the 2 combating systems at the time, Tecmo Bowl. After he began his career with that outstanding game he went on to develop the Dead or Alive game. With the creation of DOA he grew a large rivalry with the Tekken series and has kept being very outspoken about the flaws in its system.

    He has just recently announced that Ninja Gaiden 2 was going to be released on the Xbox 360 console in 2008. This was backing the claim that many have pondered for a while now. Many people say that Itagaki has a distaste for the Playstation consoles. He had no involvement in the development of Ninja Gaiden Sigma and kept even the release of Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword to the DS. Him and Hironobu Sakaguchi should probably form a team of their general open distaste for Sony.

   Despite the Sexual Harassment charges that were charged against him by one of his former employees at Tecmo, Itagaki is still fighting on. With his recent announcement of Ninja Gaiden 2 he is in a lot of press and the attention is on him. It is hard to say whether or not he can keep himself out of the lime-light, but it is more important that he keeps his hands out of the girls' personal bubble. Can you blame him though for all the jewels he has created?
