She was first introduced in Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson. I'd have to say Kagura is my favorite character since she walks hand-in-hand with death. I have to imagine you have a favorite character?

Had the idea of Burst, the sequel to the first one, from the beginning, but at the same time, I didn't think it would grow to be the series it's become. I didn't even think of the game going outside of Japan, so I decided to do my best to pursue what I wanted to do, and that turned out great as the game became very deep and detailed, and a fan base started to grow. The first Senran Kagura was a very tight-budget project, and I didn't expect it would sell much. I wanted to create something that is very easy to understand but very deep and detailed for those who appreciate beautiful female characters.
Out of all the parts of the entertainment industry, I've been attracted to the interactivity of video games.Ĭan you talk about the original inspiration for Senran Kagura, the series you're most known for? As a child, my friends and I would play with the things I drew and built, so I've always wanted to become a person who could create something that entertains people. Kenichiro Takaki: I don't remember what really inspired me to become a game designer, but I really liked drawing, building robots with blocks, and creating my own card games by using few pieces of paper. Waypoint: What inspired you to become a game designer in the first place? This interview has been lightly edited for clarity. What's featured below is the back-and-forth conversation we've had over the past few weeks. Fortunately, Takaki agreed to speak with me via translator over email. (After playing a few hours, it's clear that it's a pretty good brawler, too.)Īfter reading interviews where Takaki owned up to this, rather than dancing around it, I had to talk to him about it. You might not be into that-I'm not!-but Senran Kagura is a popular series where sex is part of the appeal.

Senran Kagura is full of panty shots, women bursting out clothes, and girls touching each other suggestively. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Takaki doesn't make apologies for the sexual content in his games. There are few Japanese game developers as outspoken as Kenichiro Takaki, producer on the "busty brawler" series known as Senran Kagura. Clearly, some in Japan think about sexuality and depictions of sexuality differently, but you don't usually see the creators responsible for those decisions talking about why. In my years of reporting on this subject, one of the more consistent roadblocks I've hit is getting Japanese game designers to speak openly and honestly about this subject.
