Shouzou Kaga
Shouzou Kaga (加賀昭三, Kaga Shōzō, born 1955) is a Japanese video game designer and scenario writer best known as the creator of the Fire Emblem series. During his career at Intelligent Systems, he would lead the development of Fire Emblem from its inception until the release of Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. In addition to being development lead, he was a major creative contributor to each game's setting, story, and presentation.
Following his departure from Intelligent Systems in 1999, he continued work in game design by founding the independent studio Tirnanog and going on to develop the Tear Ring Saga series, initially under the name Emblem Saga.[1] In 2001, the company would be sued by Nintendo on the grounds of copyright infringement against the Fire Emblem series.[2] This incident increased the negative impression of Mr. Kaga among Japanese FE fans at the time, and had the effect of causing friction between those who supported Mr. Kaga and those who did not. Following the release of Berwick Saga in 2005, Kaga took an apparent hiatus from video game production, lasting a decade until the production and release of Vestaria Saga in 2016. Regarding this hiatus, Mr. Kaga said that he retired as a game creator in 2005.[3] and that what he is currently releasing is indie game.
