4	Hiroshi Matsuyama is the CEO of ''Creator/CyberConnect2''. He and his company specialize in anime licensed games, Particularly the ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'' franchise (and more recently, ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'') though more often then not, they tend to be on the [[SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames better side of the spectrum]] then most others, and has occasionally produced and directed original properties (Most notably the ''Franchise/DotHack'' Conglomerate and ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath''). His style of game developing is noted for being highly cinematic, yet interactive, especially as he and his company started making not only games for the Seventh Generation of consoles, but also expanding to movie development with the creation of the Sub-studio Sensible Art Innovation, with [=LieN=] (Chikayo Fukuda) to compose the music for all of his games.
