5	His claim to fame is his work on the cult hit FightingGame series, ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'', in which he produced the artwork, wrote the story, and provided its [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic godly soundtracks]]. [[DescendedCreator He was also the first voice of its lead character]] (and Ishiwatari's AuthorAvatar), Sol Badguy, after which the role was taken over by Creator/JojiNakata. From the myriad of music references in the series' characters and movesets, it's evident that he is a major rock enthusiast. His favorite band is Music/{{Queen\|Band}}, to the point where they're copiously referenced in his work.
