Yoshinori Kitase Biography

Yoshinori Kitase is one of the most popular and richest Game Designer who was born on September 23, 1966 in Japan. He is a game designer and producer best known for his work with Square Enix, especially Final Fantasy. He was also involved in Chrono Trigger and Kingdom Hearts as well as Dawn of Mana.

He worked for Square Enix’s creator of Final Fantasy Hironobu Saguchi.

In July 1978, at the age of 11, Kitase watched the movie Star Wars for the first time and was deeply impressed with it. He later examined the making-of video to it and became interested in the creative process of the film industry. Kitase decided to attend the Nihon University College of Art and studied screenwriting and filmmaking. Although he enjoyed filming, he showed a much greater passion for post-production editing as he felt it allowed him to give the footage a completely new meaning and to appeal to the viewers’ feelings. In his first year after the graduation, Kitase worked at a small animation studio that produced animated television programs and commercials. When he played Final Fantasy for the first time, he considered a switch to the game industry as he felt that it had potential when it came to animation and storytelling. Despite having no software development knowledge, he applied at the game development company Square and was hired in March 1990. In the ten years to follow, he gathered experience as an “event scripter”, directing the characters’ movements and facial expressions on the game screen as well as setting the timings and music transitions. He has compared this work to directing film actors. Kitase continued directing cutscenes in spite of filling other roles in later projects; for example, he directed part of the event scenes in Final Fantasy VIII and was event planner for the Nibelheim section of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.

He is from Japan.
